It might be helpful for you:

<?php
// Send the headers
header('Content-type: text/xml');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Cache-control: private');
header('Expires: -1');
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>";

echo '<xml>';

// echo some dynamically generated content here


echo '</xml>';

?>

And finally save file with .php extension

 As a solution to your problem please try executing following example code snippet 

The below code snippet is created on basis of assumption that there is a form for user registration containing fields such as email ,address depicting the procedure for dynamically generation of **xml** content using php

 <?php
     $xmlstring='<xml>';
    if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST')
    {
      $xmlstring.='<user>
     <email>'.$POST['email'].'</email>
     <address>'.$_POST['address'].'</address>
     </user>';
    }
