I am developing a flash site the involves a dynamic menu whos content is loaded from an xml file on the server. i am also writing another page that will allow certain users to view this xml information (remotely) and update the information on their own.
From my research from many different sites, there are several ways to do this...but...i have decided to process all the xml content in flash since i'm well versed with actionscript, and have a small php interface to overwrite the xml file that exists on the server.
So this is what a user will do: open a flash page that will access this xml file and present the content to the user. the user will then edit the content to their desire and hit a "submit" button. the xml content within flash will be converted to a string format and sent to the php interface for processing.

This is where i need help.
I do not know php. I'm just getting started. i need to learn how to pass the string variable to the php file itself. Once inside the php file, how to restructure the xml content from string format to tree structure. and then overwrite the previous xml file on the server-side with this new content.

i would appreciate any help, although i would prefer code examples. thanks oodles.
