I have searched around and can't find what I am looking for.

Anyone know of any or have links to any XML admin, or web based editors built with PHP or possibly flash?

I built a Flash website for a client that calls an XML doc and they want me to add an admin section so they can update the site without having to edit the XML doc directly.

I really just want to get some ideas and perhaps a starting point.

Would prefer ones that do not let the user edit tags. So it just lets the edits of the nodeValue, possibly attributes and to add/duplicate nodes.

I smell trouble... :D

I have been looking for something similar and did not find anything good which you can restrict the file structure... I ended up creating one myself... Just read the XML content and display it into the predefined textFields and save it with PHP...

ya I was afraid of that. Was hoping there was a open source template that I could modify.

There is a nice component here http://www.27bobs.com/components/XMLManager_online.html

If I have to make it from scratch I would rather just do it with PHP but flash seems so much easier to edit XML, or I am just more familiar with it.

Thanks for the response CyanBlue.

I have seen that component, but I was not make it working well with what I needed... So, simple manual labor did the job on my case... :(

Ya bad thing about the component is you can only use it in Flash. You can't access it through a swf and you cannot change the xml file location.

I started working on an XML editor last night. Just going to end up making one from scratch.
