Subject: XML generation from PHP
Posted By: Ashleek007 Post Date: 1/23/2006 7:27:46 AM
Hey everyone, I've posted this cry fro help in PHP also, thought you guys mite be able to help? query might be a litlle more relevent to you?!?!

I'll describe the problem first of all.

Problem
I need to create an XML document containing variables taken from a MySql database passed through PHP 4.

I have the exact script in 'asp', shown below: -

<%@LANGUAGE="JavaScript"%>
<%Response.ContentType="application/xml";%>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<record>
<name><firstname><%=Response.Write("firstname")%></firstname> <lastname><%=Request.Form.item("lastname")%></lastname></name>
<address><line1><%=Request.Form.item("address1")%></line1>
<line2><%=Request.Form.item("address2")%></line2>
<city><%=Request.Form.item("city")%></city>
<state><%=Request.Form.item("state")%></state>
<postalcode><%=Request.Form.item("postalcode")%></postalcode>
<country><%=Request.Form.item("country")%></country>
</address>
</record>

This script pulls information from an HTML form and asp creates an xml document.  My problem is that:-

1. My server doesnt accept 'asp'
2. My Database is MySQL
3. I'm rubbish at asp!

So the solution would be a PHP version of this script, or a method to create an XML document through PHP.

I hope/wish it is as easy as the asp version, but have heard rumours that i need to use somthing scary called XSLT?!

Please help me phper's!
Thanks,
Ash
