XML is client side code, a file that's used to display data. You use something like PHP/ASP/PERL to generate it. That's how RSS works. PHP sucks the data out of a database and sticks it into XML, then other websites/applications come a long and play with the XML data.

I'd reccomend picking up XML in a nutshell, very very good book for this stuff.
