i just did the tutorial [size=4][color=#003366] **Output mySQL data** as XML with PHP.[/color][/size]
[color=#003366]i just didn’t understand one thing… i had one site done in flash with dynamic fileds that connect to a xml file… now with this php script i just have to replace the link to the old xml file on my flash site for this php file and i’m done? i understand that the php is outputed as xml but flash will understand that?[/color]
