Hi, Further to the discussion , the XML is like data preserver , imagine if you need to give the details of the students of a class to a diff. person and if you have more than one parameter like , name age class section marks-english marks-maths marks-science and so on. You can not do via a simple method you need XML file, what i do is create an XML on a predefined schema format and take this file onto a diff place/computer and i than took info out of this XML file. This is the prime work of XML file, Pl. ask questions for more explanation. thanks -- Regards, Abhishek jain ----- Original Message ---- From: sudhakar <finals27@xxxxxxxxx> To: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, November 3, 2007 10:37:17 PM Subject: RE: Question about XML Thanks. --- "Rodrigo B.
