How to Create Array to XML with PHP

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language which defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format which is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification produced by the W3C, and several other related specifications, all  open standards.

<?php
$data = array(
  'name' => array(
    'first' => 'Randy',
    'last' => 'Septian'
  ),
  'phone' => array(
    'personal' => array(
      'mobile' => '085687xxxxx',
      'home' => '0217788xxxx'
    ),
    'office' => array(
      'fax' => '0217788xxxx'
    )
  ),
  'gender' => 'male'
);

$xml = new XmlWriter();
$xml->openMemory();
$xml->startDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$xml->startElement('root');

function write(XMLWriter $xml, $data){
    foreach($data as $key => $value){
        if(is_array($value)){
            $xml->startElement($key);
            write($xml, $value);
            $xml->endElement();
            continue;
        }
        $xml->writeElement($key, $value);
    }
}
write($xml, $data);
$xml->endElement();
echo $xml->outputMemory(true);
?>
