you can do this with sql: INSERT INTO `table` VALUES ('data1a','data1b'),('data2a','data2b'),('data3a','data3b') You can do this with php using multi database querys as well, however I'd look into using a database abstraction layer. eg from pears: [code] $sth = $db->prepare('INSERT INTO numbers VALUES (?, ?, ?)'); $alldata = array(array(1, 'one', 'en'),                 array(2, 'two', 'to'),                 array(3, 'three', 'tre'),                 array(4, 'four', 'fire')); $res =& $db->executeMultiple($sth, $alldata); [/code] see: http://pear.php.net/package/DB

a good list is found there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_Panel_%28Web_Hosting%29 but I've found webmin to be the best.

Their are two main methods to read xml sax and dom. sax reads through xml and allows you grabs it data. dom loads the xml into an object for you to access, like javascript interacting with HTML. PHP has expat to read xml which is sax like: http://uk2.php.net/xml pear has a easier verson of this in: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.xml.xml-parser.example.php more detailed example: http://www.schst.net/index.php?__path=articles.xml-parser

[quote author=Jenk link=topic=106301.msg425213#msg425213 date=1157012227] If a user logs in as [code]' OR '' = '' --[/code] they needn't bother entering a password. [/quote] indeed, take a look at: http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-real-escape-string.php
