Generating XML with PHP

Anon

Is there an easy way to generate XML with PHP?

I know PHP can parse XML but I want to just the opposite, use PHP to create XML.

I will send this XML on to others using programming languages etc that they will parse it out themselves. XML is my unifying mechanism.

I had thought of having PHP write a file using the XML syntax.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Hello Heather,

A year ago you posted the question on phpbuilder whether there was an easy way to convert MYSQL data to XML. I\'m facing the same problem now. Did you receive any answers, did you find a solution?

Any info would be welcome,

Gert

I have been generating XML using normal PHP file writing from and HTML form with the XML tags in a print statement surrounding the vales. Printf() works great for this kind of thing if you using array values.

Read this guys post:

It helped solve my problem. I was using fwrite, which for some odd reason, doesn't like "<?xml" but likes "<?xml", and it doens't like \n or <br>. Go figure!

Anyway, fputs (go to link below) likes \n !!
