I’m making a flash based website for this group of people… The requirements are that they need to be able to dynamically update content and upload photos and stuff, have individual logins with passwords and stuff (almost like a private blog type thing between employees or something, I dunno)… I know HOW to do it all, but just storing the data… Should I use xml or SQL? Or both together? I’m leaning towards SQL, cos I know how to use it more than xml… but what would be the best choice? I need help man…

We’ll you will want to store everything in SQL. And output it as XML from PHP for flash to read in.
