create xml files from PHP

[ktsirig]

Hello, I want to create an xml file from php. Is there a quick way of dealing with it? I used SimpleXML in order to extract data from xml files, but I only have a rather lame idea of creating xml files by hard-typing the elements myself...
like:

Code: Select all

<root>
      <name>Jim</name>
      <age>23</age>
</root>

etc...

just use something like this:

PHP: Select all

$fp=fopen("cool.xml","w");
fwrite($fp,$my_xml);
fclose($fp); 

Is that what your looking for?

Is the data from the XML in a php array? maybe you could give us the code you have so far to help to clarify what you are trying to do.
