Example
Instantiate a XMLWriter object:
$xml = new XMLWriter();
Next open the file to which you want to write. For example, to write to /var/www/example.com/xml/output.xml, use:
$xml->openUri('file:///var/www/example.com/xml/output.xml');
To start the document (create the XML open tag):
$xml->startDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
This will output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Now you can start writing elements:
$xml->writeElement('foo', 'bar');
This will generate the XML:
<foo>bar</foo>
If you need something a little more complex than simply nodes with plain values, you can also "start" an element and add attributes to it before closing it:
$xml->startElement('foo');
$xml->writeAttribute('bar', 'baz');
$xml->writeCdata('Lorem ipsum');
$xml->endElement();
This will output:
<foo bar="baz"><![CDATA[Lorem ipsum]]></foo>
