Is there any way to run a php script when the node is saved?

I want do make/update an XML file when I save the node, but Im not sure how or if I can do this. I use Drupal 6

Any tips on this?

Try creating an action that's triggered when the node is saved. You'll need to have the trigger module enabled, and a custom module that you'll write with the custom action. Here's a handbook page that should be useful.

another option is the http://drupal.org/project/rules module which will allow you to type your custom php directly into the rule without having to create a module.

excellent-- happy to help. the rules module is an amazingly powerful module-- once you install it you'll probably end up using it for all sorts of things.
