How do I export to XML from a user selected set of checkboxes

Asked by cataleptic_state in Macromedia Dreamweaver, Extensible Markup Language (XML), PHP and Databases

Tags: ,

Hi
I have dishes stored in a database, and I have them called to index.php and i have added checkboxes to allow the user to add the selected dish to the XML output.

But the XML is creating a full list of database items in the XML I am using DW CS3 and Dreamweaver Development Toolbox with the Export to XML behavior

I want the user to be able to select the dishes he wants and then click a button to export to a XML file, is there any other way to do this?
