XML is a totally untouched subject for me.

How does one write to an XML file? (for a Flash file to read)


it'd be something like

gallery.xml

and the contents would be so a flash file could syndicate a picture gallery from MySQL.

Any ideas?

First, look there

to know what IS xml, and then ask again.

Then, you simply generate you XML tree in a string variable, and write it to a file, with file_put_contents() or fopen()/fwrite()/fclose() calls.

How the flash will use it is totally dependent of the flash application itself, not from the xml structure.
You'd better start from the applicative side, and design your data structure from it than the other way.

Thanks.
However I think you misunderstand. The Flash part was just a note that Flash would be reading it. Perhaps some irrelevant information but well..

In fact, I think we both misunderstand each other

Do you search infos about:

1) The structure the XML file should have for a flash application that generate a gallery?
2) The flash application itself?
3) Maybe both?
4) How the two will interact ?
5) How to generate an XML file from PHP ?

I considered the 5th only.
