I Just Learned Something...Need To Learn How To Connect

[REEF·]

I just learned XML. Anyone have any sites where I can learn it fully? Is it me or is all I see just some basic tags like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<books>
<title>AS Bible</title>
<title>FMX Bible</title>
</books>...I don't get it...is that all it is? Like in PHP there are stuff like operators, function and all. Are there stuff for XML? I'm confused as hell. Oh yea, one more thing, how do I use XML with flash?

that's all XML is basically. Well, you have attributes and some more, but that's about it.

There are many XML based standards like XML Schema and DTD's. There's a lot more on the W3C's site, www.w3.org , and also at www.xml.com .

For Flash tutes, there is Sen's one here, and there was one at www.actionscript.org the last time I looked too.

You'll have to google for PHP tutorials... I was hoping to learn XML in PHP too.

Thanks but I went to www.w3schools.org to learn. I don't need PHP, I was just mentioning it.

I still don't get it...

its not a dynamic language,
you can't connect to anything, or add anything, change, whatever. Its a markup language, which like you've found out, is basically like an ordered list. Because there are so many different technologies out there today, it would be impossible to for them all to talk to each other. So they just have to be able to talk to xml and it acts as a translator.

there are a couple xml in flash tutorials around, basically it opens the xml file, and is able to see where one item starts and another ends. it can also read the attributes of those items.

it's basically a list of things where you can put stuff into. XML - extended markup language. not so hard.

I learned XML through the tutorials at www.actionscript.org. It also explains how to use it in Flash. It's very good, you should have a look at it.
