There are good and bad reasons for using XML.
IMHO, bad reasons are:
- It is the latest Internet mania (manias go as quickly as they came)
- Microsoft is advertising it for .Net or whatever (XML was already
useful before Microsoft had seen its potential)
- Extracting data from database in XML to process or show it in some
other format (XSLT)
Good reasons are:
- You need a data format for storing hierarchical data (documents,
configurations, etc...)
- You need a data format for exchanging system independent data (Web
services)
- You need to show abstract data in a human readable format
Going to XML because of the first reasons is technically silly although
a lot of people are buying into XML because of reasons like that.

You may want to look into this PHP Classes repository section before you
bother to duplicate any efforts:

Why not. I'm a graphics designer, and I haven't got much to do at the
moment, and I need some finger work. I'm not a PHP crack, but I can do the
graphics and HTML code for you, and too I think it's a good way to for me to
get used to PHP as well.
Sincerely,
Florian

Ok.
New as I am to PHP I need to ask this. How does one compare two dates and
return the difference in years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds?

>From the manual: see the time functions at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php specifically the gmmktime()
function. Give it a date and it will tell u how many seconds have elapsed
since after the Unix Epoch (1/1/1970 00:00). So gmmktime both the dates in
question and you'll have two values in seconds. Subtract to get the number
of seconds between them. Working out the days etc is just simple maths
after that.
Asking for the number of months to be included is ambiguous, how long is a
month?... :)

My hosting company is running IIS version 5.0. Whenever I try to use the
mail() function, I get a "Warning:Server error".
Does anybody know how to correct this issue?

Maybe they haven't set the mailstuff in the php.ini file?
