<?php
// Map CSV file to array
$rows = array_map('str_getcsv', file('data.csv'));
$header = array_shift($rows);
$data = array();
foreach ($rows as $row)
{
    $data[] = array_combine($header, $row);
}
// Process Data if need be
foreach($data AS $key => $val)
{
    // Processing here
}
 //Creates XML string and XML document using the DOM 
$xml = new DomDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8'); 
//Add root node
$root = $xml->createElement('root');
$xml->appendChild($root);
// Add child nodes
foreach($data AS $key => $val) 
{   
    $entry = $xml->createElement('entry');
    $root->appendChild($entry);

    foreach($val AS $field_name => $field_value) 
    {   
        $field_name = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9]/", '', $field_name); // preg_replace has the allowed characters
        $name = $entry->appendChild($xml->createElement($field_name)); 
        $name->appendChild($xml->createCDATASection($field_value)); 
    }
}
// Set the formatOutput attribute of xml to true
$xml->formatOutput = true; 
// Output to screen
//header('Content-Type: text/xml');
//echo $xml->saveXML();
// Save as file
$xml->save('xml-import.xml'); // save as file

DomDocument has a saveXML method which returns a string that you can pass to the browser. http://php.net/manual/de/domdocument.savexml.php

$str_xml = $xml->saveXML();
echo $str_xml;

  • sir. I want it automatically download the converted csv files. Only Save the xml files on my working directory. I want also automatically download just like when you download movies or other stuff in the internet directly into your download folder. sorry to bother you – Abraham Oct 04 '18 at 08:30
