I am not very literate it with coding, let alone describing this stuff. If you don’t get it, visit [http://theappshare.com](http://theappshare.com) and you will see what I am describing.

This is what I want to do. I need the help of you guys to get it done.

I currently have a full flash site reading information from XML files. What I want to do is create a form, specifically a form for users to fill out so it could include the following:

**Title** / _\<title\>_: Application (I don’t want users to be able to change this)

**URL / Download Link** / _\<url\>_ : Link to download

**App Icon** / _\<tmb\>_: Link to image

**Screenshots** / _\<img\>_: Screenshots of App

**Category & Version** / _\<topic\>_: App category and version

**App Info & Description** / _\<description\>_: App information and description

There is variable \<img\> which shows the larger image after user clicks on content area. I want to know if I can somehow change this area so I can add more pictures, rather than 1 large one. I know this will require some FLASH editing, but I want to know if it is possible, and if so, how?

The data format in the XML is in the code below. That is how the information is submitted. I want to know how I can make a form, whether PHP, ASP, whatever, to where the bold text above is on the form (what the user sees), and when submitted, it adds all the information to the end of a designated XML file in the format below.
