Hi -

Currently on my web site, book and article references are just stored in
the database. While it works, I actually would like to move that out of
the database and to an XML file, the reason being is that if/when I need
to add fields etc. to the referenced sources, it's a lot easier to just
edit a text file than modify database and recode my form interface for
modifying the database. Also, there's an existing XML format for bibTeX
and there already are tools to go from that to "real" bibTex, which I
may need to do at some point.

What I'm hoping is that already exists some php classes / functions for
dealing with the XML bibTeX but I haven't found them. Anyone know of any?

I don't know, but the first place I look for things like that is
phpclasses.org.
