XML inserted into MySQL using PHP

[Anon]

Hello, I hope someone can help me with this!

I am about to start work on a project where I will need to write some PHP
scripts which parse XML logs and place the results in a database.

The XML logs are sent to a server from several machines on a network. The
logs will always be different (i.e. Log A may only have 50% of the fields,
Log B 100%, Log C 5% etc.), but the basic XML format is known and proper. I am using a MySQL database.

I do not know where to start! There seems to be so many XMLPHP parsers etc.

Does anyone know any good reading material or can recommend a particular
PHP/XML application I can use to help me with my task?

Thank you!

Well, I wrote a program to handle an XML file that I could send to you. It's pretty easy to understand and, like your set up, it can handle x amount of fields as well. Email me and let me know..,,,
