When using php DOMdocument to generate xml files, the output is sometimes messy and difficult to read by a human. To tell php to output a nicely formatted xml file use this code:

$dom = new DOMDocument( ’1.0′, ‘iso-8859-1′ );
$dom->formatOutput = true;
…..
…..

That’s all. Now when you are looking at the page source you’ll have a nicely formatted xml.

Enjoy !
