Dear All  
I have created an xml driven application with which the client is very happy. They currently use notepad/dw to create the xml files.  
They now want a “form” of some description to create the xml file to avoid writing tags and so on.  
I have had a good look around. There is some info about creating the xml itself in as3 (looks pretty easy), but very little about how to save that file to the clients server. I gather that the flash doesn’t do this for security reasons?  
My question is really this:  
would i be better using php to create the form for my user rather than flash as3. Or is it better to create in as3 and then append a little php to upload the doc? Or am I going abouit this the wrong way!  
Any pointers greatfully received
