I have a tool on my website that lets users create an xml file. But they aren’t saved for them to edit later.

I’d like to be able to save the file as their user\_id.xml and then make it available to them later.

I’m sure I need to use mySql, but I can’t get a visual in my head of what I need to do to get this to work.
