RE: [PHP] XML works like a DataBase?

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.
