MySQL Import - Where to start?

Hello,

I am a bit confused about the best approach to import MySQL Data, hostet on an Internet Server (without ODBC - no direct access with FM9 new MySQL feature).

I searched the web and found one solution: XML

I played around with some examples and could get some examples to work. But I don´t really know to make XSLT for my solution, because I simply have a lack of knowledge.

So I asked myself, if it is also possible with php? Not, that I have big knowledge in php programming, but I know someone, who could develop a solution with me together. If there is any.

So my question is:

- Is XML the best / the only or only one solution to solve the problem?

- Could I get the same results with php, or is php the wrong tool for that?

What I would like to do is:

- From FileMaker I would like to make a request for certain records (all new, all after a certain date) (this task could be done i.e. with webviewer) and import them in Filemaker

What do you think? XML or php?
