Thread: Creating Files

Hey guys,

I need to use PHP to create an XML file and then write data to it - the data the program figures out, but I'm stuck on how to:
1) Create an XML file.
2) Write the data to it.
3) Prompt the user to save it.

If I cant create XML files, then a normal txt file would be fine, but XML prefered.

What are my options?

PHP: domxml_new_doc - Manual

That how to create a fresh xml document, i'm assuming that everytime it runs you'll want to create a new xml document rather than erase/overwrite the last one?

I'm not very good at explaining, but this should help you understand writing xml data.

And for the 3rd question, could you just write the xml file, and then prompt the user to save it, if they decline just have the already existing file deleted?
Although i very much doubt that's the best or most sound approach.
