I have a couple of lenses from my Canon 35mm camera and have now purchased a new digital Canon rebel xti. Can I use the lenses from my old 35mm on a digital rebel xti?

It depends on what "35mm film camera" you have. If you have an old Canon FD-mount camera (which means Canon’s manual focus cameras made before the 90s) you’ll need an adapter:

If you have an EOS 35mm camera with EF-mount lenses then they should mount and work exactly like they’re suppose to.
In any case, since the sensor of the XTi is smaller than a frame of film, there’s a 1.6x crop factor that you have to take into account. A 28-80mm lens would be equivalent to a 44.8-128mm lens on the XTi.
If your old camera is the old manual-focus type, like an AE-1, they will not work, nor even fit. The new lenses have electronic contacts that allow them to communicate with the camera- if those contacts aren’t present, the camera won’t operate.
Which canon film camera do you have?
As far as I know, the only Canon film model that can use digital lenses is the Canon Rebel K2 DATE model. The regular K2 cannot.
im pretty sure you can, but the manual-active autofocus might be changed whether if the 35mm lens is electronically autofocused or not, but by standard you can still use it, and it would turn out to be a manual focused lens
