Thanks in advance

The same way as you use php for web page.
Web page: php+html => html page sent to web browser
Manialink page: php+xml => manialink xml page sent to game browser

Show us what you've tried so far. It's easier to help with specific problems.
Apart from that it's really just putting manialink xml in the php file, instead of html. Depending on your servers config, it won't work with a .xml extension (unlike .html).

If you really have no idea how to do it, then first :
- learn some basics about php+html web (it sould not difficult to find several tutorials on various sites)
- make some static manialink pages, to learn the specific manialink xml syntax
then, if you still have some specific problem, ask

guys I know manialinks without php inside out.. and im learning php too. I know the basics of PHP --> HTML; all I want is an example of HOW to use the php in my manialinks.
Ive made 4 manialinks now, because i love making them. If you want to see them, go to:
dml2, MLCMM, tmfkzmm(although ive stopped making this one).
Thanks again

It works exactly the same way, just instead of generating html you generate manialink-xml
You should find some real examples (for tm²) there :
http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic.php?f=279&t=7079
Or, if you want for tmf, i have a small very old test page
there, which tmu manialink style (so will work on tmf but not tm²). Btw it can make an example to get an idea of the thing...
