[Phpwm] [phpwm] Generate XML file from an array

[Jon Spriggs]

I guess it depends on exactly what you want, but I'd probably do
something like this:

function make_array($array_object=array()) {
  $return='';
  if(is_array($array_object)) {
    foreach($array_object as $array_index=>$array_item) {
      $return.="<{$array_index}>\r\n";
        if(is_array($array_item)) {$return.=make_array($array_item);}
      $return.="</{$array_index}>\r\n";
    }
  } else {
    $return=$array_object;
  }
  return($return);
}

$file=fopen($file_name, "w");
fwrite($file, make_array($array));
fclose($file);
