Hi there I need to design a web page that will take some attributes
from an xml data file and load its content into a database

I have a personal web server running mysql and php 4.3 and i can
design web pages etc.

What sort of script would enable me to do this? Obviously I would
need to access the database using INSERT commands of sql but how do
i get php to access the xml file and retreive the data I need?

could anyone set me off or perhaps recommend a tutorial or two?
