How to import from an XML file? (2 posts)

    I have an XML file of my posts only from an old SQL database (no longer have the SQL)... how do I convert this to a WXR?

    I tried just importing it anyway, and it seemed to work, but the posts do not show up.

    Here is what the file looks like...

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <!--
    -
    - phpMyAdmin XML Dump
    - version 2.10.3
    - http://www.phpmyadmin.net

    -->

    <!--
    - Database: '33544_silent_edgeorg'
    -->
    <33544_silent_edgeorg>
    <!-- Table wp_posts -->
    <wp_posts>
    <ID>4</ID>
    <post_author>1</post_author>
    <post_date>2005-10-14 07:27:00</post_date>
    <post_date_gmt>2005-10-14 11:27:00</post_date_gmt>
    <post_content> ...

    ... ETC.

    Take a clean install of WordPress, then do the Export and look at that for clues to what you will need.
