Various program components, perhaps some of which may be considered programs in their own right, reside on separate host machines but all work together to form a complete application. The call one component makes to another on a separate host is a Remote Procedure Call (RPC).PHP > Tips and Tutorials > XML and PHPOct 16, 2006

Learn how to get your MySQL database description / layout in an XML format. If you are an absolute beginner in XML than it can be useful to read first an XML introduction tutorial.
Last week, we presented a simple framework (named XMLCast) for distributing content to a variety of devices using XML. This application was built using Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology but we realize that many of you aren't using ASP (we aren't either). This article will present the concept of XML parsing using the PHP scripting language. In the coming weeks, we will follow this example up with an expansion of XMLCast using other tools such as XSLT and Cocoon.
