    quick explaination of terms cos people seem to be confusing stuff here...

    php is a scripting language.
    xml is a markup language.
    sql is a database language.

    none of them can work in place of another, they usually work together in some way. it's not xml or php, it's both.

    ie, flash sends a request to a script written in php. the script passes it along to a database using sql. the database sends back the info to the php script with sql, and passes that info along to the flash using xml.
