    <p>I am creating a xml file using php. The resulting XML is.</p> <pre><code>&lt;xml&gt; &lt;data&gt; &lt;firstname&gt;Peter&lt;/firstname&gt; &lt;insertion&gt;V&lt;/insertion&gt; &lt;lastname&gt;John&lt;/lastname&gt; &lt;gender&gt;Male&lt;/gender&gt; &lt;/data&gt; &lt;/xml&gt; </code></pre> <p>But in case where a value is null the resulting xml is (<strong>look at node insertion</strong>).</p> <pre><code>&lt;xml&gt; &lt;data&gt; &lt;firstname&gt;Peter&lt;/firstname&gt; &lt;insertion/&gt; &lt;lastname&gt;John&lt;/lastname&gt; &lt;gender&gt;Male&lt;/gender&gt; &lt;/data&gt; &lt;/xml&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>If a value is null I want the xml to be created such that it results in.</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;xml&gt; &lt;data&gt; &lt;firstname&gt;Peter&lt;/firstname&gt; &lt;insertion&gt;&lt;/insertion&gt; &lt;lastname&gt;John&lt;/lastname&gt; &lt;gender&gt;Male&lt;/gender&gt; &lt;/data&gt; &lt;/xml&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is my code.</p> <pre><code> $doc = new DOMDocument('1.0'); $doc-&gt;formatOutput = true; $root = $doc-&gt;createElement('data'); $doc-&gt;appendChild($root); $data = $doc-&gt;createElement('data'); $fname = $doc-&gt;createElement('firstname'); $fname-&gt;appendChild( $doc-&gt;createTextNode($row['firstname'])); $data-&gt;appendChild($fname); $ins = $doc-&gt;createElement('insertion'); $ins-&gt;appendChild( $doc-&gt;createTextNode($row['insertion'])); $data-&gt;appendChild($ins); $lname = $doc-&gt;createElement('lastname'); $lname-&gt;appendChild( $doc-&gt;createTextNode($row['lastname'])); $data-&gt;appendChild($lname); $gender = $doc-&gt;createElement('gender'); $gender-&gt;appendChild( $doc-&gt;createTextNode($row['gender'])); $data-&gt;appendChild($gender); $root-&gt;appendChild($data); $doc-&gt;save($path . "test.xml"); </code></pre> <p>I am sending this xml as response after creating it. So in client side the <strong>lastname</strong> node is becoming a subnode of <strong>insertion</strong> when it is</p> <pre><code> &lt;insertion/&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
