[SOLVED] generate xml

[anf.etienne]

how can i generate xml using data from a form? I've got my code that generates the xml, but i haven't got a clue how to get a form to submit so the childs in the xml are filled in automatically using the data collected from a form. I've that i have to put the child in a loop but i don't know where to start.....can someone point me in the right direction? thanks

 

here is my code

# <?php
#  
# $xmltext = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<gallery></gallery>";
# $xmlobj = simplexml_load_string($xmltext);
#  
# $i=1;
#  
# $nameCaps = $xmlobj->addChild("pic");
# $nameCaps->addAttribute("name", "PHOTO 1");
# $nameCaps->addAttribute("caption", "This is the space where you can put in your own customised caption for each image.");
#  
# print header("Content-type: text/plain") . $xmlobj->asXML();
#  
# ?>

i figured out how to generate xml from a form using php. here is the code

 

<?php

if(isset($_POST['create_xml'])){

        $picT = $_POST['picT'];

        $photoT = $_POST['photoT'];

        $captionT = $_POST['captionT'];

        $randT = $_POST['randT'];


$xmltext = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<gallery></gallery>";
$xmlobj = simplexml_load_string($xmltext);


$nameCapsA = $xmlobj->addChild("$picT");
$nameCapsA->addAttribute("name", "$photoT");
$nameCapsA->addAttribute("caption", "$captionT");


        $path_dir = "xmlf/";

        $path_dir .=   $randT .".xml";

/* Data in Variables ready to be written to an XML file */

$fp = fopen($path_dir,'w');

            $write = fwrite($fp,$xml_document);

print header("Content-type: text/plain") . $xmlobj->asXML();

}

?>
