this might sound a little bit crazy and even lazy but it will open a whole new world for me 🙂

to start, now, xml is like html but with “customized” tags right?  
the question is, where do i place the file that contains that this tag will perform this and that…???  
like if i like: \<My\_own\_tag\>THIS\</My\_own\_tag\> where do i “declare” that so that the browser can read it?

in a database? in a file?  
if in a database, how? with php  
same as for the file…

thanks
