generate xml file

[Yannovich]

Hello Everyone,

I would like te generate an xml file with coldfusion
Would this be the way to go about it?:

<cfsavecontent variable = "test">
<content>
<goup>
<item title="titel1" thumb="thumb.jpg" foto="foto.jpg" />
<item title="titel1" thumb="thumb.jpg" foto="foto.jpg" />
<item title="titel1" thumb="thumb.jpg" foto="foto.jpg" />
<item title="titel1" thumb="thumb.jpg" foto="foto.jpg" />
</group>
</content>
</cfsavecontent>
<cffile action="write" file="foto.xml" output="#test#">

I thought this ought to work, but it seems it doesn't.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

The code is correct and will generate an XML file. When you say it
does not work, can you be more specific.


If it is just a reading issue, add xml header to your code.

<cfsavecontent variable = "test"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

XML documents need a valid XML processing directive as the first line of the file.

Something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
