Format generated XML

1

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!!
