XML/SPRY & MySQL...Need help please!

Question

I don't really even know how to title this new message but I
know what I would like to do. I am designing a dynamic photo
gallery and would like use the Spry/AJAX framework to display my
photos on a php web page.
The photos would be uploaded to a MySQL database on the
backend thru an insert form. I understand that Spry Datasets have
to be associated to an XML file located on the server. I know how
to format the XML file manually however I do not know how to update
the XML file on the fly. I would like to be able to upload photos
to a remote folder on ther server using PHP/MySQL via an 'insert
new record' form or an 'update record' form. Once the new photos
have been uploaded (or Updated), how can I tell the MySQL database
to update the XML file that is associated with Spry table that
displays the photos on the frontend?

You don't. All that you need to do is to generate the XML
dynamically by
querying the database. The following page in the Spry samples
shows you
how to do it:
