Personally, I would do it differently, but thats just me... However one modification I would suggest you make: The Line: $xml.="<".$nombre_campo.">".$valor_campo."</".$nombre_campo.">\n"; would probably be better as this: $xml.="<".$nombre_campo.">".htmlspecialchars($valor_campo)."</".$nombre_camp o.">\n"; just incase there is an & or a " in the data, and some XML parsers will throw an error saying that the XML file is not well formed. -----Original Message----- From: Octavio Herrera [mailto:webmaster@latinencounters.com] Sent: Sunday, 26 January 2003 9:36 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] converting a Recorset into an XML string Hello everybody, I make a function that lets you convert a recordset obtained via mysql_query() into an XML string: maybe could be helpfull to yours this is the function it have 3 parameters: $rs is the recordset you want to convert $padre is the name for the parent node that will contain every record on the recordset $hijo is the name for the child node that will contain a single record in the recordset function rs2xml($rs,$padre,$hijo){ $num_campos=mysql_num_fields($rs); $num_filas=mysql_num_rows($rs); if($padre!="-1") $xml="<$padre>\n"; else $xml=""; $cont1=0; while($cont1<$num_filas){ $fila=mysql_fetch_array($rs); $xml.="<$hijo>\n"; $cont=0; while($cont<$num_campos){ $nombre_campo=mysql_field_name($rs,$cont); $valor_campo=$fila[$cont]; $xml.="<".$nombre_campo.">".$valor_campo."</".$nombre_campo.">\n"; $cont++; } $xml.="</$hijo>\n"; $cont1++; } if($padre!="-1") $xml.="</$padre>\n"; return $xml; } I hope this will be helpful for you OCTAVIO HERRERA -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
