I have a MySQL database on my server and I’d like a certain table to be returned via PHP as XML. I’ve seen various ways to get XML to MySQL, but not an easy to follow way of the opposite. How should I go about doing so?

Just pull the data out and manually form it into an XML document (using the DOM or XMLWriter classes), there’s no built in way to just do it. If you’re looking for a pre-built solution though, PHPMyAdmin has functionality to dump a table to an XML document.
