PHP - Using Php To Create Xml File

Hi all

I'm trying to create an XML file to be used within Excel.  The data is drawn dynamically from my database depending on the information supplied by the user.

However when I run it, I get a complain from Excel about some missing whitespace.

any ideas?

Code: [Select]
<?php
$output='<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?>
