This thread is for discussions of How to create XML files.

Hi, i was wondering do i have download XML DOM to be able to create an xml file, MY php parser does not recognise the xml functions ? Thanks in advance

I am a fairly new coder, at least when it come to XML and this php code.  I had a couple of questions.  I am trying to make my php script duplicate and XML example I was given.  I followed your advice above but there where a couple of differences between the two.  I was hoping you might help me out on how to fix them.

1) in the XML sheet that I am trying to duplicate each child object is on a new line and indented.  Using your method above everything appears on one line.  Does this matter?  Is there a fix?  Even if it doesn't matter it would be ideal to have each child object on a new line.

For example:
<root>
    <child1>value1</child1>
    <child2>value2<child2>
       <childchild1>subvalue1</childchild1>
</root>

As Opposed to:
<root><child1>value1</child1><child2>value2<child2><childchild1>subvalue1</childchild1></root>

2)fields that are blank in my example show up as:
        <notblank1>value1</notblank1>
       <blank />
       <notblank2>value2</notblank2>

After implementing your method they show up as:
        <notblank1>value1</notblank1>
       <blank></blank>
       <notblank2>value2</notblank2>

I know I am asking a lot but I could really use the help.  Thanks for any suggestions.
