dictionary query

[james2006]

I have uploaded dictionary file in XML format. But I don't know how to display results once someone search certain words on my website.

For example, if someone searches for "ABSCOND" in the search box on my webpage, I like to extract information concerned with "ABSCOND" from dictionary and display it on my webpage.

How can I do that? Any suggestions.

Thank you

I'd import into a MySQL or SQLite database which is much easier to work with.

Thank you

I'm no expert on importing from XML->SQL, there isn't any native way to do it as far as I know.
You'd need to write a script to convert it to MySQL or a CSV file and then import it.

you ca do that easy, but you have to know how. Also it's easier to convert data to comma delmited file and import it into mySql then.
If you have Navicat it's easy anyway.

How to import Excel, Access or XML data into MySQL database by using a MySQL Client Tool – Navicat?

first, we'd need to know what language this is written in...

if you don't already know how to use a database such as mysql, then there's no point asking how to use it to build something like that. It would be like asking how to juggle the Rubenstein's Revenge pattern before you learn to do a simple 3-ball cascade (or, in more boring terms, learn to run before you learn to walk).

there are many programming courses available online.
