Parser help request

Hi,

I want to build an application that receives text from via SMS text messages and submits it into a MySQL database.

I can build the website to display the data from the database okay, using ASP (OK, so it's not big or clever, but at least I will be able to do it) so I'll want to have an ASP script if that's possible.

I have found an SMS Gateway that will POST SMS messages in XML to my server. Great, but what do I do know? I know nothing about XML.

I think I need a script to parse the message so that the first word (delimited by a SPACE) is submitted into one column in my database, and the rest of the message goes into another column, but how do I do that, and (just as importantly) where do I find a suitable script?

Can anyone please help?

Thanks,

Rob.
