Struggling - PHP build of XML from MySQL DB

[mediadonkey]

I'm in an utter mind-melt and having started covering the same ground of problems I'm hoping you guys (from whom I've already learnt a lot) can help me.

 

I'm trying to get a PHP to build a section of XML from a MySQL table.

 

The end-result should look something like this:-

 

	<Monkey_Muffin>
	<R0> 
		<C0>
			 <section width="200" height="75" lineThickness="0" lineColour="0x333333"/>
			<text>
				<txt1 />
				<txt2 text="Monkeys" y="2" font="Myriad Pro" fontSize="12" fontColour="0xFFFFFF" align="left" />
				<txt3 text="I like them" y="15" />
			</text>
			<image>
			</image>
		</C0>
		<C1>
			<section width="75" height="75" lineThickness="0" lineColour="0x333333" lineAlpha="100" />
			<text>
			</text>
			<image src="Monkey_Muffin.jpg" fit="false" width="70" height="70" x="2.5" y="2.5" alpha="100" />
		</C1>	
	</R0>
</Monkey_Muffin>

 

The table in the MySQL DB contains:-

 

Field	Type	Null	Default
name	varchar(20)	Yes	
id	int(11)	Yes	
row	int(11)	Yes	
section	int(11)	Yes	
width	int(255)	Yes	
height	int(255)	Yes	
lineThickness	int(255)	Yes	
lineColour	varchar(255)	Yes	
lineAlpha	int(255)	Yes	

 

and a few other bits and pieces...

 

Baring in mind that there could be multiple rows and multiple sections/columns within rows

 

What I'm trying to get the PHP to do is start

 

[*]ID1 - print the name

[*]In ID 1 - where row 1 (in XML terms here, not SQL), print all buttons rows (in SQL terms here)

[*]then move onto row 2 until no further rows

[*]then repeat process for next ID

 

In the format outlined above. I have got this working for simpler examples, and I'm thus trying to use code from those... but it's much more complicated. I'm currently trying:-

 

 <?php
       $dbh = mysql_connect("xxx", "xxx", "xxx");
       mysql_select_db("xxx");

       $query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = 1"; // get cycle up on this

       $result = mysql_query($query, $dbh);

       $fields = mysql_num_fields($result);

	echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>";

		while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
				for ($i=0; $i<$fields; $i++) {
						$name=mysql_field_name($result, $i);	
								if ($row['id']= 1) { // get this number to come from earlier variable
									if ($row['row']= 1) {	// get this number to cycle upwards until done									
										if ($row['section']= 1) {
										echo  "<$name=\"$row[$name]\" />\n"; }
										else { echo "can put a stop on this for end of row"; }
									}
									else { echo "row not 0"; }
								}
								else { 
									echo "not showing";
								}

				}
				echo "/>\n<";
		}


?>

 

Admittedly with hard-coded ID etc. atm just to see if I can get it working.

Any directional help would be really great.
