RE: [PHP] PHP and XML?

| The idea is that the data is described so that no agreement | about the data is needed... | | James You missed the point James, I would tend to agree with the original poster who said that files could be exchanged. Why XML? If, as a person in say construction industry, I needed to share my data, couldnt we just come to terms on a CVS standard? Or as Mark suggested, just a pipe delimited file? Whats the big fuss about having data like that? I can also write programs to DISPLAY on a web-browser the CVS files!! Instead of a style sheet, I'd have my program "explode" each line and then present each element in a certain way! Whats the big flipping deal about XML then?
