Advice on learning XML

[Ben Rogers]

I understand what xml, how to write it (extrememly simple), and i don't think it has any special functions.

Does anyone know a tutorial that says how to implement XML?

XML by itself is not all that handy... Though, it was designed to be accessable by several different environments.

The best way to learn XML: Buy a book.

The alternative: www.w3schools.com

but i want to know, before i start, if you need any scripting knowledge to utilize it. i know xhtml and css, and have "dabbled" with php.

You should be fine.. Several sub-languages have been created with XML. Just learn some basic XML and then move on to some of the other languages. There are literally 100's of them!

all there is to it is

doctype
<blah>
<woo>
text
</woo>
<yah>
text
</yah>
</blah>

yeah.

I hooked up a new database of webbased tutorials (xml, xsl, xslt, html, php, javascript, mysql and many more - over 5000 links)

Have a look at www.scriptsandcodes.com

Thanks,
