Kohana XML helper module

Important! All Kohana-related posts are now at http://kohana.lillem4n.se.

This module is actually just a helper (for now, at least). But it is very handy when working with converting various data to XML in PHP. A few examples:

Simple example of the two different return values.
As DOMDocument:

<?php
$doc = xml::toXML(array('root'=>array('fnupp'=>'dah')));
$doc->formatOutput = true;

echo $doc->saveXML();
?>

As DOMNode:

<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$container = $doc->appendChild($doc->createElement('root'));

xml::toXML(array('fnupp'=>'dah'), $container);

echo $doc->saveXML();
?>

How the $container works:

xml::toXML(array('fnupp' => 'dah'))

will output:

<fnupp>dah</fnupp>

xml::toXML(array('fnupp' => 'dah'), 'root')

will output:

<root>
<fnupp>dah</fnupp>
</root>

That was just a few examples, full documentation is within the helper PHP-file. That includes passing SQL and getting it back as XML directly, working with attributes etc.

All feedback is very welcome!
