hello  
i’m making one site in flash and it uses data from a xml  
everything is working perfect, but now i need to find one way to update the xml…i mean… the xml has to be update by a person that the knowledge in computer is basicly 0, so i wanted to make a form or something where the xml data appear and than can be edited and saved again…  
i did a lots of searchs but i don’t know how to do it or in some cases i can’t put the tutorials working and in other cases it needs changes in the php instalation and has the files will be on a server that i can’t change configuration that’s not an option.  
i’m open to use asp php… anything! i just need to make it work…  
please some one help because i’m sure that’s not hard to make this \*\*\*\* work

my xml is basicly this:

\<?xml version=“1.0”?\>  
\<xpto\>  
\<user\>  
\<number\>23\</number\>  
\<name\>john\</name\>  
\</user\>  
\<user\>  
\<number\>32\</number\>  
\<name\>mike\</name\>  
\</user\>  
\<user\>  
\<number\>67\</number\>  
\<name\>bob\</name\>  
\</user\>

So couldn’t you have the XML load things from elsewhere?

er… i can make flash display the data from the xml… what i can’t is load the xml to somewhere (don’t know where) to then edit…  
i thought php was the easy mode to make this but it seems that it’s not so easy to load xml data to php to then edit in a form or something…
