I have created a database called friends with four columns: Name / Address / City / State
I also made an XML file to coincide with those variables: <test> <contacts> <friends> <name>Friend 1</name> <address>999 Foo Avenue</address> <city>Foo Town</city> <state>FO</state> </friends> </contacts> </test> The variables in the XML doc above are already in the database BUT - what I want to do - using PHP and MySQL - is something like this: $connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "foo", "bar") or die ("Could not connect to server."); $db = mysql_select_db("friends") or die ("Could not select database."); $sql = "select * from friends order by name asc"; $sql_result = mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die ("Could not execute query."); echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>\n"; echo "<?xml-stylesheet type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"friends.xsl\"?>\n\n"; echo "<test>\n"; echo "\t<contacts>\n"; echo "\t\t<friends>\n"; echo "\t\t\t<name>"; echo "$name"; echo "\t\t\t</name>\n"; echo "\t\t\t<address>"; echo "$address"; echo "\t\t\t</address>\n"; echo "\t\t\t<city>"; echo "$city"; echo "\t\t\t</city>\n" echo "\t\t\t<state>"; echo "$home"; echo "\t\t\t</state>\n"; echo "\t\t</friends>"; echo "\t</contacts>"; echo "</test>"; ?> Can this be done and am I going about it the right way?
