RE: [PEAR-DEV] xml parser

I personally prefer DOM [1] and XMLReader [2], but SimpleXML [3] and "XML Parser" [4] work too. DOM and SimpleXML can be used for both reading and writing, whereas XMLReader and "XML Parser" are only for reading (with XMLReader having its writing companion - XMLWriter [5]). I'm not sure I get your question about "write xml data to a server url"... the same server your PHP file is running on, or a remote server? If the former, DOM, SimpleXML and XMLWriter allow you to point a file path (not a URL) to save the document to. If the latter, you send it in the same way you'd send any text data - as a raw body or get/post field of an HTTP request. It's up to the remote server to handle processing the received data.
