write to a xml sheet?
Hi,
Starting a new project and I'm thinking about something nifty, lol.
Rather than using a MySQL dbase, is it possible to write to a xml sheet thats on the server, and then let AJAX do its thing with the data?

A MySQL database is more efficient, but you can learn to save/read XML data with PHP here.

AJAX can do its thing with a database too. I don't know about you, but writing queries is a lot easier than trying to parse XML. I don't think XML files can be joined like database tables, so XML is more limiting than SQL.
