Lol I've tried to reply 3 times now, mods must be ignoring the site during holiday which is fair enough.
The PHP and XML side I'm fine with, I've worked with XML on both PHP and Java before so I'm good with that, its more how to make the http request and get the response back that I need the help with or rather have never done before, or if its a good method to use. Calls to the web database will only need to be done every minute at most every 10 minutes at least. The prototype I'm working on is a concept for an MMO, the MMO on the server level will work on a tick bases, kind like web strategy games like Planetarion, Bustarion, Droidarena etc so the data doesn't need to be constantly updated, this is more to save on bandwidth and processor power on the server side.
