XML Tutorials
1. XML vs HTML
By: Emiley J : 2012-04-05
Description: Some new programmers tend to think that XML is a replacement for HTML. It is NOT. XML and HTML were designed with different goals in mind. XML was designed to transport and store data, with focus on what data is where as HTML was designed to display data, with focus on how data looks. So HTML is about displaying information, while XML is about transporting information.

4. What is the structure of an XML?
By: Emiley J. : 2008-11-23
Description: The first line is the XML declaration; it specifies the XML version and the XML file encoding. Notice that the line starts with <?. This combination of characters can cause a problem if you use this file as a PHP script. If you have the PHP setting short open tags enabled (the default), PHP sees the tag <? as the opening tag of a PHP section. If you work with XML in combination with PHP, change the short_open_tag setting in the php.ini file to Off.
5. XHTML Basics

Description: XHTML is a W3C Recommendation that represents the future of HTML. Based on HTML 4.0, XHTML is designed to be compatible with existing web browsers while complying fully with XML. This means that a properly written XHTML document is always a well-formed XML document. Furthermore, XHTML documents must adhere to one or more of the XHTML DTDs, therefore XHTML pages can be validated using today's XML parsers such as Apache's Crimson.
