XML Creator

So as part of my current work, I have to export customer information, orders and order details for importing into Sage. Also, product information has to be exported for Google shopping. Both of these are being exported in XML. Instead of writing out all of the coding and causing problems etc. I bodged together a simple function – it is by no means perfect:

function createXML($x, $y){

$y = (is_array($y)? $y : str_replace("&", "&", $y));
$output = "\n\t<$x>";
if(is_array($y))
foreach($y as $key => $item)
$output .= createXML($item[0], $item[1]);
else
$output .= $y;
$output .= "\n\t";
return $output;

}
