Help: Save Player Account in XML?

[Hadif]

How do I save player account in XML file? I just want to manage the player account easily. How do I start? Any examples? Any help will be appreciate, thank you.

Just the username or what...? Look up the XML writing functions on the MTA Wiki, there's plenty of information on how to read and write using those functions.

If you plan to store passwords as well, I suggest you do some research on password encryption. Storing password as plaintext is a terrible idea.

Then you simply store the account username in the XML file once they register an account. You'll need to write your own register function.

Don't use XML for an account system, that's very inefficient and will probably cause lag and eat so much CPU. Use SQL or the default accounts system.

And XML is really bad for any server.

SQL is not that hard to learn. Check the tutorial in my signature.
