any idea on whats the best way to create an xml file from mysql and php?

There's only one way.

1 get the data from mysql
2 compose an xml from the data
3 open a file
4 write the data formatted in xml (either format it yourself or use a library sax, dom, simplexml)
5 close the file

you can change the order of 1 and 3.

Is there any other way?

marvin was asking on the best way of creating xml with php. so i was telling him how to do that.

there are instances that you need xml. not all applications needs the html presentation but a formatted data or application protocol. xml is a good candidate of exchanging datas. good example is xml-rpc and soap.

also, the new html (xhtml) is an xml conformant. so if your website is xhtml then it is an xml that can be understood by new browser.

There is no automatic way of doing it. Learn XML and format it yourself. You can also find a class on the internet that would do it. There has to be one out there.

I think theres is one from a content Manager Script written in pearl... its name as ILINK.....

from a database driven information that would auto generate static pages instead of dynamic driven... its more popular use now a days

http://hotscripts.com/search/4265677.html

heres one sample if you just observed flow of web site like hotscripts they are taking concept from a blog site...

a real static pages generated every search.. instead of dynamically driven /server generated page............

try PEAR?

also, i agree with vern about the php manual thingy. i always have an updated copy of it sa aku usb flash drive. after reading a good book, the manual comes in very handy... also, sa php.net, when u search for functions, there are user comments below which can be very useful...

imho, get a good book about xml + php + mysql
