Got it figured out by now. I noticed one small bug but I'll fix it monday
morning, so i'm going to post what I did to make this work..

I'm going to donate this code to the guy at
http://www.devdump.com/phpxml.php and hopefully he'll put some of this to a
good use as more and more people are now using xml to exchange data, so this
would be very helpful to people who may need this...

[code]
$array = array
(
'NEWSFEED' => array
(
'0' => array
(
'ATTRIBUTES' => array
(
'ID' => 'test1'
