Jayesh-

Have you considered using Flash or Director? Flash, in particular, has some
very nice classes for working with XML data. I bet you can do everything you
wanted to with PHP with Flash instead. You can either embed the Flash file
in an HTML container to run in a browser, or output it as a projector for
Mac/Window (not sure about Linux). Actionscript is a very nice language to
work with, and with the new data components in Flash 7, the display and
parsing of data (XML, flatfile, or from a database) couldn¹t be easier.
