Create Dynamic XML file using PHP

/* XML File name */
$filename = "evergreenphp.xml";

/* Path for XML filename */
$path_xmls = "/www/htdocs/phpdocs/missing_man";

/* File mode to Open the file */
$handle = fopen($filename, "w");

/* Sample values for the Array */
$image_array = array("1.jpg", "2.jpg", "3.jpg", "4.jpg", "5.jpg");

/* Writing the Header area */
$top_header = "

\n\n";
$player_list = fwrite($handle, $top_header);

/* Writing the Middle area */
for($i=0; $i < count($image_array); $i++){
$image_list = "images/".$image_array[$i]."\n";
$player_list = fwrite($handle, $image_list);
}

/* Writing the Footer area */
$bottom_footer = "\n

";
$player_list = fwrite($handle, $bottom_footer);
fclose($handle);

/*

Introduction to XML

What is XML?

XML: eXtensible Markup Language
XML is a framework for defining markup languages:
* there is no fixed collection of markup tags - we may define our own tags,
tailored for our kind of information

* each XML language is targeted at its own application domain, but the
languages will share many features

" there is a common set of generic tools for processing documents

XML is not a replacement for HTML:
* HTML should ideally be just another XML language
* in fact, XHTML is just that
* XHTML is a (very popular) XML language for hypertext markup

XML is designed to:

* separate syntax from semantics to provide a common framework for
structuring information (browser rendering semantics is completely defined
by stylesheets);

* allow tailor-made markup for any imaginable application domain
* support internationalization (Unicode) and platform independence
* be the future of structured information, including databases
