Generating xml dynamically from a database using PHP












0















I cannot figure out the error which says



'This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 2: StartTag: invalid element name
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.'



init.php



<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = null;
$databaseName = "test";

$db = mysqli_connect($servername, $username,
$password, $databaseName)

?>


viewWishList.php



<?php                                            
header ("Content-Type:text/xml");
include ("config/init.php");
$query = "SELECT * FROM members";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query) or
die ("Error in query: $query. ".mysql_error());

$_xml = '<?xml version="1.0"?>'
$_xml .="<wishList>";

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {

$_xml .="<wishlist>";

$_xml .="<wishlistID>".$row['wishlistID']."
</wishlistID>";
$_xml .="<bookName>".$row['bookName']."
</bookName>";
$_xml .="<bookType>".$row['bookType']."
</bookType>";

$_xml .="</wishlist>";

}

$_xml .="</wishList>";

$xmlobj=new SimpleXMLElement($_xml);
print $xmlobj->asXML();
$xmlobj->asXML(wishlist.xml);

?>
