So I have this little script that works great for creating simple XML files. Tonight I tried for the first time to integrate it with a much larger script. Having not really thought it out prior to thi point I have now seen the error in my ways. Question is how to fix it?

 

Here is my XML script:

		$empName = "{$final_target["picfile"]}" . "\n";
		$xml_dec = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?> \n";
		$rootELementStart = "<images> \n";
		$rootElementEnd = "</images> \n";
		$xml_doc=  $xml_dec;
		$xml_doc .=  $rootELementStart;
		$xml_doc .=  "<pics> \n";
		$xml_doc .=  $empName;
		$xml_doc .=  "</pics> \n";
		$xml_doc .=  $rootElementEnd;
		$fp = fopen('../images/pics.xml','w');
		$write = fwrite($fp,$xml_doc);

 

and here is the script that triggers it. Its pulling all the image paths from a MySQL database. Problem is it creates the single entry in XML instead of listing each one in the structure. So basically I need to figure out how to loop through the "while" and each time add the respective path to the XML file.

<?php require_once("../includes2/dbopen.php"); ?>
<?php include("functions2/functions.php"); ?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Memories</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../stylesheets/styles.css" />
</head>

<body>

<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM images";
$target = mysql_query($query); // uses the query variable defined above.
confirm_query($target); // calls to the function file.

	while ($final_target = mysql_fetch_array($target)) {
	$submitter = "{$final_target["picsubmit"]}";
	$description = "{$final_target["picdesc"]}";
	$filename = "{$final_target["picpath"]}";
	?>

	<img src="<?php echo $final_target["picpath"]; ?>" alt="" />

                          <?php
	echo "<br>";
	echo "<h4>" . $description . "</h4>";
	echo "<br>";
	echo "Submitted By: " . $submitter;
	echo "<h4>" . "<hr>" . "</h4>";
	echo "<br>";
	} //ends the while	
	?>

</body>
</html>
<?php include("../includes2/dbclose.php"); ?>
