A good textbook for xml file processing using perl (or Java, PHP, ...)?

[ilh.cho]

Hello,

I am looking for a good textbook that covers techniques of processing
files in different forms (flat, tagged, indexed, xml, ...) which also
has some coverage on database processing.
Any recommendation?

Thanks,

cho

I can't recommend a _textbook_, but there's a lot of good info on the
web. My standard -- and admittedly biased -- recommendation is to start
with the tutorials and articles at the XML DeveloperWorks website
(http://www.ibm.com/xml).

(Despite being run by IBM, the editors of that site try to treat it as
an independently published magazine, so not everything there follows
IBM's party line. But it's a good collection.)

Thanks for the info.
I'll take a look.
But it would be nicer if I have a binded book that I can use as a
course textbook.
