PHP within XML

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about creating an application which would work with XML (since I need some xp in that). Ok so I would have a page that would use XML but the data inside that page (links and urls) would be inside a MySQL DB. It's basically a home page for each user, each user has their page with theyr links and control panel.

I want to use XML but do I also need PHP? PHP is my prefered server-side scripting language.

Thanks!

sounds like an opportunity for XSLT

That's what I was thinking.... So I can improve my skills. But XSLT cannot get data from the DB right?

Most definitely...i've been searching and researching topics on xml, xslt and mysql data and theres no way you can combine the languages without using some sort of server side language thus PHP and ASP play a major role in it. Kinda sucks but hey...PHP is good
