ok, here is what i have accomplished so far.
as far as reading the xml and putting the info into the map DB i have written some php that write an array like this from the xml you just have to give it one page at a time. you should be able to modify it to get it into the database if you want.

Array
(
    [IconType] => Array
        (
            [NAMEzail] => NAME
            [MOBcavs] => MOB
            [MOBcanda] => MOB
            [LOCchapel] => LOC
            [ZONEshiii] => ZONE
            [LOCarchery] => LOC
            [MOBoozmist] => MOB
            [NAMEscion] => NAME
            [MOBzombies] => MOB
            [ZONElib] => ZONE
            [ZONEvalor] => ZONE
            [MOBgel] => MOB
            [MOBtorrent] => MOB
            [LOCatrium] => LOC
            [MOBdcrusaders] => MOB
            [MOBhand] => MOB
            [MOBstrongboxes] => MOB
            [ZONEshi] => ZONE
            [MOBtombs] => MOB
            [LOClib2] => LOC
            [MOBwrits] => MOB
        )

    [LOC] => Array
        (
            [NAMEzail] => 121.60, -24.72, -5.33
            [MOBcavs] => 111.86, -18.72, -29.67
            [MOBcanda] => 79.56, -16.57, -17.74
            [LOCchapel] => 79.56, -16.57, -17.74
            [ZONEshiii] => 93.16, -38.00, -99.10
            [LOCarchery] => 7.18, -24.82, -76.24
            [MOBoozmist] => 5.04, -26.55, -121.61
            [NAMEscion] => 5.04, -26.55, -121.61
            [MOBzombies] => 5.04, -26.55, -121.61
            [ZONElib] => 5.04, -26.55, -121.61
            [ZONEvalor] => -15.69, -24.83, -43.60
            [MOBgel] => -24.87, -24.79, -126.91
            [MOBtorrent] => -49.24, -24.79, -124.00
            [LOCatrium] => -72.69, -24.76, -98.14
            [MOBdcrusaders] => -103.73, -25.74, -64.59
            [MOBhand] => -103.73, -25.74, -64.59
            [MOBstrongboxes] => -95.61, -32.00, -173.57
            [ZONEshi] => -145.19, -16.00, -98.16
            [MOBtombs] => -116.51, -32.00, -154.36
            [LOClib2] => -116.51, -32.00, -154.36
            [MOBwrits] => -116.51, -32.00, -154.36
        )

    [Description] => Array
        (
            [NAMEzail] => The Maelstrom
            [MOBcavs] => Cavaliers
            [MOBcanda] => Cavaliers, Acolytes
            [LOCchapel] => The Chapel
            [ZONEshiii] => To Stormhold Keep III
            [LOCarchery] => Archery
            [MOBoozmist] => Oozing Fungus, Condensed Mist
            [NAMEscion] => Scion of Pain
            [MOBzombies] => Zombies
            [ZONElib] => To Library
            [ZONEvalor] => To Tomb of Valor
            [MOBgel] => Gel-Cubes
            [MOBtorrent] => Torrents
            [LOCatrium] => Atrium
            [MOBdcrusaders] => Defiled Crusaders
            [MOBhand] => Handmaidens
            [MOBstrongboxes] => Strongboxes
            [ZONEshi] => To Stormhold Keep I
            [MOBtombs] => Tombs
            [LOClib2] => The Library
            [MOBwrits] => Writs
        )

)

I have also written some php that will generate output look like:

<Icon IconStyle="MOB" IconType="map" Location="377,296" Name="MOBbogfairies" pathfindlocation="589, -35, 560" ScrollExtent="10,10" Size="10,10" Tooltip="Bog Fairies " TreatAsButton="true" OnHoverIn="Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.WC_Titlebar.QM_LocEntry.QM_LocText.LocalText=pathfindlocation Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.WC_Titlebar.QM_LocEntry.QM_LocPath.pathfindlocation=pathfindlocation"/>

That was generated using the following variables:
$Name = "MOBbogfairies";
$PathfindLocation = "589,-35,560";
$IconType = "MOB";
$Description = "Bog Fairies";
$ZoneRect = "-844,358,-553,698";

you would just have to change it to pull the variables from the database. also i noticed in the code view for some reason it puts spaces in random spots on this forum, it doesnt have them when it is generated.
