Is there a php function that dumps an array to a XML file?

Not by itself, no. But you can output XML based on your array, like
this (please note that this is just a short example - you'll have to
make sure your XML output is valid yourself):

echo "<?xml version=\"2.0\"?>\n";
foreach($array as $element) {
echo "<item>".$element."</item>\n";
}

This is untested. The element names will be the array's keys, and the
values will be the values. If the value is an array it will turn that
into XML and stick it inside the element.

function arrayToXML($a) {
$xml = '';

foreach($a as $k =$val)
$xml .= "<$k>" . (is_array($val) ? arrayToXML($val) : $val) .
"</$k>";

return $xml;
}

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the latest version 1.1?

function arrayToXML($a) {

$xml = '';
foreach($a as $k =$val)
$xml .= "<$k>" . (is_array($val) ? arrayToXML($val) : $val) .
"</$k>";

return $xml;
}

this one should do. Thanks.

Sounds about right:

I was just taking things roughly from memory, and I missed on one.

Not one -- just 0.9.
