Hi

I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to xml. I was wondering how one would go about doing the following.

I want to have an xml file containing certain information about reports that i want to display on my website. The xml file will contain some formating and other information for each report. When a user comes to the site, they choose a reportto view. That report name is then an imput variable.

What i want to know is, given the input value, how can i easily access that reports information stored in the xml file? Is there an object that i can create that i can just pass the value to, and it will return the hierachical information associated with that specific report named in the file? Then how do i easily access that information as well?

The information will then be passed to a report generation engine that will actually generate the reports.

Any help ( links to tutorials, or other info ) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
