Hi,<br />
<br />
Need a quick answer...<br />
<br />
I'm coding an end of day batch in PHP that loads all payments for specific products made via the website and bundles them up into XML files, for transmission to a third party for payment.<br />
<br />
I just would like ideas as to the best way to do this...<br />
<br />
I was about to launch into building arrays and then translating them into XML at the end of the loop?<br />
<br />
Ideas? Experience? &nbsp;Best practice?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />
Cris.

What's the best way to create large XML files using PHP MySQL.

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).
