really new on XML

Hi
I'm about to begin using XML, maybe I havent read enough, I have two questions.

What DBMSs can XML interact with?
Does XML support php language?

Thanks

With regard to your second question it should have been phrased "does php support XML?"

Answer: yes

Search for xml at www.php.net

regards

Patrick

As I understand it, XML doesn't interact with anything. :) XML languages are primarily data languages, and applications have to be written to interact with them. mjpbrennan is exactly right in this regard.

I'm not personally aware of any XML-based databases, though I do believe there are a couple out there.

The Software AG have developed a product called Tamino (http://www.softwareag.com/tamino/), it's essentially a XML database. Will cost you some money though, but perhaps someone dedicated has made a similar open-source product. Try to google for that.

Try this link for native xml databases:
