creating xml files with php...

[garik]

hello, i have aproblem:

i whant to create a xml file with data from my db, but it seems that i don't know the right way or may be i need to make some changes in my php.ini file, help me please.

for example i've tried to make simple xml file with php:

<?
echo "<xml version='1.0'?>;
echo "<x>";
echo "<element>";
echo "bla bla";
echo "</element>";
echo "</x>";
?>

but it's not working...

Try something like this:

<?php

// the name of the xml file
$file = "data.xml";

// the data
$data = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n";
$data .= "\<document>\n";
$data .= "\t<tag>Tag Data</tag>\n";
$data .= "</document>";

// open the file and write the data to it
$p = fopen( $file , 'w' );
$w = fwrite( $p , $data );
$c = fclose( $p );

// a message
echo "The data was sucessfully added to the file $file";

?>

is data.xml file has to be a xml file (with primary data in) and i working on it, or is it an existing file but empty and all i do is adding information?

Well, if data.xml does not exist, then it will be created when the fopen() function is called.
