Form to XML Output PHP snippet

[BFP]

Hi all.

I have a very basic question: how can I take the values in a PHP/HTML form and export them to XML?

For example, suppose I have index.php, which is a job submission form as follows:

<form id="jobSubmit" name="jobSubmit" method="post" action="">
  <label>Title <input type="text" name="title" /></label> <br />
  <label>Unique Reference # <input type="text" name="referencenumber"></textarea></label> <br />
  <input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Submit" />
</form>

And the required XML output for the job feed is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<source>
	<job>
		<title><![CDATA[Example Job Title]]></title>
		<referencenumber><![CDATA[unique123131]]></referencenumber>
	</job>
</source>

Without worrying about the validations for the time being, how do I output the form data to XML using a PHP script?

[!]Note:[/!] I'd very much like to keep the code generic such that it parses the

name="X"

and automatically outputs the appropriate XML in the <job>...</job> section.

Thanks in advanced!

Thanks southbeach!

Those two pages saved my butt.

Thank the PHP5 gods for coming up with something so nice to pull this off with ease.
