Hiya,

So far I've pretty much stuck to PHP/MySQL for handling data -- but I am
wondering when I should get into XML.  What are the advantages and
disavantages of both methods?  If I am not sharing my data with others,
would you always choose a database over an XML file?

Any comments appreciated!

Thanks,
Rachel
