Use a PHP array and turn it into am xml request for ajax autocomplete?

[inVINCEable]

I recently was assigned to a project that deals with AJAX, something I have never dealt with before. I do know what I am doing with javascript/php/mysql though. I just installed a plugin that I know how to use every part of it, except where it processes the request. This is an autocomplete plugin. It says I need to format my data like this

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<ajaxresponse>

<item>

<text><![CDATA[text to display]]></text>

<value><![CDATA[value to fill]]></value>

</item>

</ajaxresponse>

 

 

Is there a way to do that with PHP using an array of data I have?

 

Thanks for any pointers.
