PHP and MS Access + XML

Hi,
I have resords in an access database. I want to retrieve them using php
and generate an xml file with them. I can retrieve the records and
generate an xml file but the xml file contains no data.
This is the code im using:
PHP:

$query1="SELECT * FROM cust";
$result=odbc_exec($conn , $query1)or die("Query failed: $sql<br
/>Error: ".mysql_error()."<br />");
$xml = '';
$xml .= '<?xml version="1.0"?>'."\n";
$xml .= '<!DOCTYPE customer SYSTEM "customer.dtd">'."\n";
$xml .= '<shop>'."\n";

while($row = odbc_fetch_row($result))
{

$xml .= '<customer>'."\n";
$xml .= '<customerId>'.$row['custonerId'].'</customerId>'."\n";
$xml .= '<name>'.$row['name'].'</name>'."\n";
///$xml .= '<address>'."\n";
$xml .= '<addressline1>'.$row['address1'].'</addressline1>'."\n";
$xml .= '<addressline2>'.$row['address2'].'</addressline2>'."\n";
$xml .= '<addressline3>'.$row['address3'].'</addressline3>'."\n";
///$xml .= '</address>'."\n";
$xml .= '<phone>'.$row['phone'].'</phone>'."\n";

$xml .= '</customer>'."\n";

}
$xml .= '</shop>'."\n";
$xmlfile = "C:\\phpdev\\www\\jim\\customers.xml";
$myfile = fopen($xmlfile,"w+");
fwrite($myfile,$xml);
fclose($myfile);

odbc_close($conn);
and this is the XML it generates

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE customer (View Source for full doctype...)>
- <shop>
- <customer>
<customerId />
<name />
<addressline1 />
<addressline2 />
<addressline3 />
<phone />
</customer>

Theres no data for name address etc...

Anyone know why?
Thanks

Try setting error_reporting(E_ALL) at the top of the script; maybe some
notices will be generated. For instance, this might be a typo:

$row['custonerId']
