Song Upload/Song info into XML

[Zaxza]

Basically, i want to make a form where you can upload a song to a particular folder and enter its info into an xml file
like this:

Could you also show me how to make each entry editable and deletable?
thanks in advance...

Can anyone help?

well, you would probably be better off entering the info into a mysql db, but i suppose xml would work as well. search both the forums and google for...

1) php upload scripts
2) sql INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE (if you go w/ the msyql route)
3) php file writing (if you go w/ the xml route

you will probably find on these forums that people will be more responsive if you try first rather than just asking someone to show you how it's done. all of your questions have already been discussed countless times on the forum, so searching should result in numerous helpful results.

Thanks, i'm sorry about asking, but i've only just started php and still dont understand the code. I tried to find a tutorial that could help. I have managed an upload script but dont hava a clue how to make it do everything i want. Cheers for the help.

bwh2 is pretty much on the mark. U need to send the variables(tile/artist/file) to mysql. From there, u can use php to echo out xml syntax for your flash file.
Ok, I'm doing this at work at the moment, take a look - its what u wanted to do, just need to change some variables ;)

thats really cool. i'm working on an admin section for my band site. The other members of my band dont know any html so i thought i'd make some nice form for them to edit the site with. I hope for them to be able to upload songs for my Flash xml player.
