The PHP code you posted is not really formatted. Also, the XML code you posted is way too long for a forum post. If you think something that long is relevant, you can post it to an external site (like pastebin.com for example).

Try to format your PHP code correctly (use the "code" feature, it's the <> icon). Also, try to explain what your code is supposed to do, It wasn't really clear (at least, for me )
