Hi, I have to create a XML file but I don’t know how to do that with Yii.

Can someone explain how to do that? I need a XML to store in a/path/of/the/server

TIA!

you can create an action on your controller like…

public function actions() {


    return array(


        'xml'=>'application.controllers.docs.xmlAction',


    );


}

then create a xml doc

    header("Content-type: text/xml;charset=utf-8");


    $s = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>";


    $s .= "<rows>";


    $s .= "<records>".$count."</records>";


    foreach($result as $n=> $row):


        $s .= "<row id='". $row->$fieldID."'>";


            $s .= "<cell>". $row->$field."</cell>";


        $s .= "</row>";


    endforeach;


    $s .= "</rows>";


    header("Content-Type: application/xml");


    header("Content-Length: " . strlen($s));

echo $s;

or

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>");

$tmp = $xml->addChild(‘data’, $res->RecordCount());

foreach($res as $row) {

&#036;node = &#036;xml-&gt;addChild('prospect');


&#036;node-&gt;addChild(&#036;field, &#036;row[&#036;field]);

}

echo $xml->asXML();

Zend Framework has related components, which you can freely integrate with Yii. It’s not very confidential, so I can say that XML generation and aggregating is planned in the new extension library.
