RE: [PHP] XML works like a DataBase?

2001-09-25 Thread Andrew Hill 

Augusto,

Regardless if you CAN do this, I recommend against it :)
Relational Databases are much better for storing, updating, and accessing
disparate information than XML.

XML should be used for communication between applications or for an
intermediary output format from relational data.
If you do need XML, then convert from relational data to XML on the fly.

There are several ways to do this.
An easy one is our database: Virtuoso
You can download it for free at http://www.openlinksw.com/virtuoso

Hope this helps.

 Hi.

 I've been looking for XML, and I'd like to know if you
 know if with the XML funtions of PHP I can create a
 XML file, add and remove data just, or almost equal of
 I do with MySQL.

 regards,

 Augusto

Yes, I'll still use MySQL. I want this:

Use a XML file to transfer data (SMS data), What is
better to do:

1) Create manually a XML file?

2) Or I can have a .XML model file, that I just
add some data.

regards,

Augusto
