Code:

<html>
<title>Student Registration </title>
<body>
<form name="fin" action="2.php" Method="post">
<table>
<Caption> Student Registration </Caption>
<tr>
<td>
Student Name: <input type='text' name='Sname' />
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>
Student id: <input type='number' name='Sid' />
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>
Student Class: <input type='text' name='Sclass' />
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type='submit' value='Next" />
</td></tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

When ever user clicks on next page he/she will redirected to 2.php
at dat time i want to store all the form data in xml.
here 2.php code Follows:

<?php
?>
 <html>
<title>Student Registration2 </title>
<body>
<form name="fin2" action="#" Method="post">
<table>
<Caption> Student Backgroun Details </Caption>
<tr>
<td>
Student Name: <input type='text' name='Sname' />
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>
Father Name: <input type='number' name='Fname' />
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>
Father OCupation: <input type='text' name='Foc' />
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>
Permanent Address: <input type='text' name='Add' />
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type='submit' value='Submit" />
</td></tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

So wen ever user clicks Submit on 2page.here the registration completes.
At dis time i want to Retrive the Data of 1st page From Xml. & now I want to store all the data from (1st & 2nd page) in my database.

Why wood u want 2 do dat? All dat extra code in the html to make xml and den u need to store dat xml. How u do dat? U put it in da database. Y not just store the info wid out the xml conversion. So much easier.

While sun is right that the intuitive approach is by using server side scripting, you can
Use XML DOM to do this.

I have not looked into it, but hopefully looking over http://www.w3schools.com/dom/default.asp
Demonstrations, you can give a shot at it.

It is good practice.

Look up how PHP handles HTTP POST form submissions and you'll be off to a good start.

The problem is XML documents aren't written in a scripting language nor a programming language, so there's no specific interpreter or compiler to translate the contents into machine code. You have to write them (unless you're writing in a very well-supported XML language like XHTML).

XML documents are good for exchanging data between incompatible systems, but they are not programs in and of themselves.
