In News Editor by Kirupa for example,  
using this method (Flash \> PHP \> XML), if supposedly two, or more peoples will be editing the xml at the same time, will cause problems in file and one of news will be lost !!!

How can fix this ? maybe a script to only open/write the xml when click in SAVE buttton.

the best way is using mysql ??

thanks
