PHP and Google Earth?

Hey guys, I'm wanting to learn PHP and have an idea for a new project.
I'd like to put up a simple page for my family members / friends to
input their address and contact info, and then a script would grab that
text and convert it to KML (Google Earth's XML spec.)

So what i"m looking for is any direction as to which PHP classes will
read text from a field and output it to an XML-based file...(if that's
the right direction...any further ideas here would be helpful.)

Thanks,
Ben

You'll need a geocoding engine to transform address to coordinates. Look
at Yahoo (http://toys.lerdorf.com/archives/35-GeoCool!.html); once you
get the coordinates you'll be able to build your KML
