PHP to XML after submiting form from html

Well, i have this thing, i need to edit a XML file that is pre-formated, only need to change some variables:

This is the XML i have by defauld and i need to edit some "fields":

        <clstamp>TS11030954594,1410000-1</clstamp>
    <nome>**Carlos Raul**</nome>
    <no>764</no>
    <estab>0</estab>
    <vendnm/>
    <ncont>**236730339**</ncont>
    <nome2/>
    <saldo>.00000</saldo>
    <esaldo>.000000</esaldo>
    <moeda>EURO</moeda>
    <fax/>
    <telefone>**969273816**</telefone>
    <contacto/>
    <acmfact>14041.75928</acmfact>
    <eacmfact>70.040000</eacmfact>
    <rentval>.00000</rentval>
    <erentval>.000000</erentval>
    <eem>false</eem>
    <emno>0</emno>
    <eag>false</eag>
    <agno>0</agno>
    <eid>false</eid>
    <idno>0</idno>
    <efl>false</efl>
    <flno>0</flno>
    <flestab>0</flestab>
    <morada>**Rua Cidade Rio Maior Lote 244**</morada>
    <local>**Odivelas**</local>
    <codpost>**1675-674 Famões**</codpost>

The data in bold would be introduced using a form, i thought of doing something like this:

    <clstamp>TS11030954594,1410000-1</clstamp>
    <nome>**.$name**</nome>
    <no>764</no>
    <estab>0</estab>
    <vendnm/>
    <ncont>**.$Telefone**</ncont>
    <nome2/>
    <saldo>.00000</saldo>
    <esaldo>.000000</esaldo>
    <moeda>EURO</moeda>
    <fax/>
    <telefone>.$Cellphone</telefone>
    <contacto/>
    <acmfact>14041.75928</acmfact>
    <eacmfact>70.040000</eacmfact>
    <rentval>.00000</rentval>
    <erentval>.000000</erentval>
    <eem>false</eem>
    <emno>0</emno>
    <eag>false</eag>
    <agno>0</agno>
    <eid>false</eid>
    <idno>0</idno>
    <efl>false</efl>
    <flno>0</flno>
    <flestab>0</flestab>
    <morada>**.$Adress**</morada>
    <local>**.$City**</local>
    <codpost>**.$Postcode**</codpost>

I could make the output a simple plain html and than export the file changing manualy the mime-type to *.XML

I've heard about xwdt or something, but haven't investigated this. Do you people have some sugestions to give me?

Thanks very much guys!

Do you need to write the XML out to a file on the web server? If so, you dont need to worry about mime types, just output the XML direct to a file as a text string.

here is a good tutorial on how to write to a file: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/filewrite.php

The code you listed in the second example will be fine, just save it into a variable then write it out using fwrite.
