How to add line breaks to PHP generated XML files

[letoii]

I am constructing an XML file with PHP. I read information from a template XML file and then add elements and save it.

 

The line breaks from the template are preserved in the saved file, but all the new elements are on one line. Is there a way to break them up so it is easier to read the file?

 

Here is the original template:

<InternationalShippingServiceOption> 
  <ShippingService> token </ShippingService>
  <ShippingServiceAdditionalCost currencyID="CurrencyCodeType"> AmountType (double) </ShippingServiceAdditionalCost>
  <ShippingServiceCost currencyID="CurrencyCodeType"> AmountType (double) </ShippingServiceCost>
  <ShippingServicePriority> int </ShippingServicePriority>
</InternationalShippingServiceOption>

 

Here is the saved information (all the ShipToLocation elements on one line):

<InternationalShippingServiceOption> 
  <ShippingService>StandardInternational</ShippingService>
  <ShippingServiceAdditionalCost currencyID="CurrencyCodeType">26.994</ShippingServiceAdditionalCost>
  <ShippingServiceCost currencyID="CurrencyCodeType">44.99</ShippingServiceCost>
  <ShippingServicePriority>2</ShippingServicePriority>
<ShipToLocation>BE</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>FR</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>IE</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>LU</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>MC</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>NL</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>GB</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>DE</ShipToLocation><ShipToLocation>IT</ShipToLocation></InternationalShippingServiceOption>

 

I am using the $doc->formatOutput = true; option.

How are you creating the new XML?

[letoii]

createElement

then

appendChild

 

$ShipToLocation = $doc->createElement('ShipToLocation',$countryRow["ebay_code"]);
$doc->documentElement->appendChild($ShipToLocation);
