format generated XML

[hombr3w311]

Hello, i am wondering how to properly format xml that is generated from PHP. Here is my example.

I need it to look like this:



<event title="Trade Show" place="West Palm Beach, Florida" description="This trade show will display all new jewelery from arond the globe" startDate="2006-12-14 17:30:00" endDate="2006-12-14 19:30:00" allDay="0" eventType="once" />
Here is how it is generating:



<event title= Main Event place= Cherry Hill, NJ description= Jewlry Show startDate= 2006-12-15 17:30:00 endDate= 2006-12-15 19:30:00 allDay=0 eventType=once/>
basically there are no "" around the data which is required! Any suggestions? Here is my source code:



<?
if(isset($_POST['create_employee'])){

echo "Calendar Event Successfully Added";

$title = $_POST['title'];

$place = $_POST['place'];

$description = $_POST['description'];

$start = $_POST['start'];

$end = $_POST['end'];

$allday = $_POST['allday'];

$onetime = $_POST['onetime'];

$recurring = $_POST['recurring'];

//After gathering all data from the form then, I created a variable to hold all the data entered by user in string format.

$xml_doc= $xml_dec;

$xml_doc .= $rootELementStart;

$xml_doc .= "<event title= ";

$xml_doc .= $title;

$xml_doc .= " place= ";

$xml_doc .= $place;

$xml_doc .= " description= ";

$xml_doc .= $description;

$xml_doc .= " startDate= ";

$xml_doc .= $start;

$xml_doc .= " endDate= ";

$xml_doc .= $end;

$xml_doc .= " allDay=";

$xml_doc .= "0";

$xml_doc .= " eventType=";

$xml_doc .= "once";

$xml_doc .= "/>";

$file .= "employee.xml";

//Here I have taken default directory as xml_file directory.

//After creating string representation of employee data, I have used following PHP script to store in the file

$fp = fopen($file,'a+');

$write = fwrite($fp,$xml_doc);

}
?>


Thank you!!

encapsulate your double quotes in single quotes. also, it might be easier on the eyes if you just put everything in one line...



$xml_doc .= '<even title="'.$title.'" place="'.$place.'" ... />';

i wasn't about to code the whole thing, but you should get the idea.
