Export Recordset to XML file

[Newsgroup_User]

I need to write form values to a database, then export those values to a XML
file and save it on the server. I'm not sure where to start on the
export-to-file process, can anyone get me started?

There is an XML export routine in the Developer Toolkit but you have to buy
that. XML files are simple text files and therefore they are fairly simple
to create using something like a stream writer.

The exact code however depends on the server language you are using.

I also beiieve you can get the Developer Toolbox's "Export to XML" functionality as a free, standalone DW extension if you register DW CS3.

I was under the impression that the export-to-file functionality that was
present in Interakt's product was removed when presented by Adobe... is that
not correct?

Correct. It doesn't save to file. However, writing a PHP routine to save
XML to file is trivial.

This is indeed quite easy to do, and you can find a pretty good "Converting Database queries to XML" - tutorial on Adobe Labs -- this page shows samples for several server models, the 2nd block is for PHP.

My favorite sample is actually the "manual" one, because it allows you to define the desired XML nodes yourself, and it allows for something very important what´s not supported by the current "Export to XML" extension -- wrapping the contents of a certain node in CDATA.
