Found the answer to my own question. Thanks to all who looked.
header('Content-type: application/xml'); <- insert whatever application type you are trying to send
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="download.xml"'); <- filename = whatever you want
any content that your script would send to the browser after the header will be sent to the browser as a file to be downloaded. -
No not really. Maybe I can clarify what I meant. I have a page where a user submits data into a textarea. I take that input and apply some regular expressions to it so that i can extract certain information. I then want to take the information that I am extracting and create an xml file from that. I have the code already built where php fills in all the blanks between my elements and sends it to the broswers as a regular php/html file. If you view the page source of the php output in the web browser you can see all the xml elements. I just want to take those elements into a file , xml, and when the script is used you are prompted for an xml file download or you are passed a xml file not a php file. I also don't want to create any files on the server, if I wanted to do that I would not be asking for help since that i do know how to do!. Thanks

$regx = "Name: [-0-9a-zA-Z''_ ]{4,}";
On my test server this to grab ( Name: 'name' name name ) appostrophes included
But on the live server it will only match one of the apostrophes and stop where the second one is
