XML file open in Notepad in correct format like xml format

Hi Guys,

We have a requirement to download the internal table data as XML file.

I am generating a XML file (welcome.xml) through PHP. The PHP code is as -

Code:

<?php  
$xmlString = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <urlset 
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
	xmlns:image="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1" 
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd" 
	xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
        <url>
            <loc>http://www.codexworld.com</loc>
            <lastmod>2016-07-04T07:46:18+00:00</lastmod>
            <changefreq>always</changefreq>
            <priority>1.00</priority>
        </url>
    </urlset>';

$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->preserveWhiteSpace = FALSE;
$dom->loadXML($xmlString);
$dom->formatOutput = TRUE;
//Save XML as a file
$dom->save('test/welcome.xml');

//View XML document

echo $dom->saveXml();

?>

Able to download the XML file in correct format, but when opened in NOTEPAD we are getting the complete tags of the XML in a single line.

We need the notepad file also to look like the format of the XML file when opened.

Please answer is there any solution for this (XML file should be in XML format when opened in Notepad). It should be done without using any XML Editor (XML formatting tool).

I tell you for your information that we are using Linux server and the code is lying inside Linux server. Also we don't want to use any XML Editor (XML formatting tool).

Please reply as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Notepad is probably the only piece of software left on the planet that requires Windows line endings and doesn't recognize Unix line endings.

XML parsers will accept either, so it sounds as if you want to generate an XML file using Windows line endings (that is, CRLF).

Your standard XML serialization library under PHP probably isn't going to do that, so you'll probably need to post-process the output by globally changing LF (x0A) to CRLF (x0Dx0A).

Thanks for your reply.

Please tell me how to change globally LF to CRLF. Please describe. Please give an example. I am not finding this solution in google.com.

Waiting for your response.

Thanks in advance.

I'm happy to help you with technical XML problems but not with basic programming tasks.
