// We just simplified it by putting it in an Array for now.

$NameArr = array("Software", "Books", "Music");

$DataArr = array("Flash MX, Adobe Photoshop, Mandrake Linux, Apache Web Server", "PHP for Flash, XML and Flash, PHP and MySQL, XML for dummy's", "Alkaline Trio, Hot Water Music, Jimmy eat world");

$desc = array("Flash MX from Macromedia /n Price: 500$, Photoshop - A image/photo editing tool from Adobe, One of the best Linux Distributions, The best Web server on the planet", "A great book from friends of Ed, XML Studio Lab from Friends of Ed, Great PHP and MySQL book, Need help with XML", "Buy the latest CD, The new Hot Water Music CD, Just came out with a new CD.");

$numReturn = count($NameArr);

$i = 0;



// Prints out the necessary XML

print "<dataSet>";

    while ($i < $numReturn) {

        print "<data>";

        print "<name>".$NameArr[$i]."</name>";
