Hi there,

I am entirely new to PHP. I have created a flash mp3 player which will probably be a tutorial in the future. Everything’s fine, BTW how do I generate a temporary XML playlist using PHP or [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET), load it using loadXML(), from the list of files in a folder? Thanks…

ps here’s my XML format:

**\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?\>  
\<!DOCTYPE playlist SYSTEM “musicPlayer.dtd”\>  
\<playlist\>  
\<song\>  
\<title\>Easy\</title\>  
\<URL\>easy.mp3\</URL\>  
\</song\>  
\</playlist\>**
