I've been a longtime developer, but have never utilized XML until now (or rather, I need to use XML now).

Here's my dilemma::

I have a contacts table that I want to export to the web via XML. I then want to later import those records back into my contacts table from web using a script.

What's the best way to go about this?

I've been able to export the records to an XML data source on my local drive. Do I need to utilize a style sheet at this point or should I simply post it to the web? I have a personal website and yahoo site builder tool that my webhosting service provided.

Do I need to save the XML source in the same folder as my web pages? Do I have to use something called a data island?

Once on the web, how do I import those records? Do I use HTTP Request? If so, what's the proper grammer to use?

XML is a new language and I wish I had the time to learn it from scratch...

Can anyone help? Thanks.
