Question : Output XML from SQL

The attached code should output simple XML from a simple SQL SELECT.

However, all of the tags and angle brackets and line feeds are lost.

How do I fix this?

}

 $xml_output  .=  "</bags>";

Answer : Output XML from SQL

I cleaned up your code so it's nicer. Does that fix the problem and if not can you explain it better :)

                       
         
           
           
             <?php
ob_start();
$db = mysql_connect('localhost','xxx','xxx') or die("Database error");
mysql_select_db('more', $db);
$query =  "SELECT bag FROM bag";
// Perform Query
$result = mysql_query($query);
echo '<?xml version="1.0"?>';
?>
<bags>
<?php
  while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
?>  <bag><?php echo $row['bag'];?></bag>
<?php
  }
?></bags>
