Question

<?php                                               

  $books = array();
  $books [] = array(
  'title' => 'PHP Hacks',
  'author' => 'Jack Herrington',
  'publisher' => "O'Reilly"     
  );                            
  $books [] = array(            
  'title' => 'Podcasting Hacks',
  'author' => 'Jack Herrington',
  'publisher' => "O'Reilly"     
  );                            

  $doc = new DOMDocument();     
  $doc->formatOutput = true;    
  $r = $doc->createElement( "books" );
  $doc->appendChild( $r );            
  foreach( $books as $book )          
  {                                   
  $b = $doc->createElement( "book" ); 

  $author = $doc->createElement( "author" );
  $author->appendChild(
  $doc->createTextNode( $book['author'] )
  );
  #$author->appendChild( $doc->createTextNode( 'pavunkumar'));
  $new = $doc->createElement("Developer");
  $a=$doc->createTextNode('I am developer ' );
  $new->appendChild($a);
  $b->appendChild( $author );
  $b->appendChild($new);
  $b->appendChild($new);
  $title = $doc->createElement( "title" );
  $title->appendChild(
  $doc->createTextNode( $book['title'] )
  );
  $b->appendChild( $title );
  $publisher = $doc->createElement( "publisher" );
  $publisher->appendChild(
  $doc->createTextNode( $book['publisher'] )
  );
  $b->appendChild( $publisher );

  $r->appendChild( $b );
  }
  echo $doc->SaveXml() ;
  ?>

When I run this code in command line. I am getting following things

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<books>
  <book>
    <author>Jack Herrington</author>
    <Developer>I am developer </Developer>
    <title>PHP Hacks</title>
    <publisher>O'Reilly</publisher>
  </book>
  <book>
    <author>Jack Herrington</author>
    <Developer>I am developer </Developer>
    <title>Podcasting Hacks</title>
    <publisher>O'Reilly</publisher>
  </book>
</books>

When I run the code in web browser it gives me following things

Jack Herrington  I am developer  O'Reilly    Jack Herrington  I am developer  O'Reilly  

I want to above output to be like command line output. And one more things is that instead of displaying , how could I create a xml file using $doc Dom object.

Answer 1

I may not be correct, but try sending a header like that:

Header("Content-Type: text/xml");

or

Header("Content-Type: text/plain");

to achieve appropriate results. (Of course before you run $doc->saveXML();.
