Could anybody point me in the direction of any tutorials or any ideas of how to update my XML via an (X)HMTL admin page or similar.

I know there are a lot of bolt on products out there that do the job, but I’d like to teach myself how to do it.

I’d like a few form fields, push update and it updates my XML which in turn updates my flash site.

I know that it is easy to update the XML directly as it only exists as a relatively series of elements or nodes, but it seems logical to have a go.

Hope you can help, I just need a nudge in the right direction…🙂
