php question please!

[tres]

Hello all,

I am well and truly baffled and hoping you might be able to help.


basically - i have a PHP script that does some database lookups, and outputs it as text.

I have a flash file, that displays information - but only from "config.xml"

So, i've been trying to think of a way of getting the information from the PHP file, into the config.xml.


Any ideas?
I can format the PHP output so it looks exactly like the XML file - but how do i actually get this information inside the xml file? Or the PHP script to create it?

It's dynamically changing information....

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Unfortunatly i can't change the flash file to look at config.php, only as config.xml

Ideal, thank you! I'll try and get my head round this, but seems to be exactly what i'm after.

Ok, severe headache!

How will it dynamically change? I'm presuming the XML file only gets created/updated when the PHP script is run? So if i'm showing data from the xml file, the php script has to be run seperately? Via Cron?

Apologies for my seemingly stupid quesitons - but thank you for your help so far Chris!
