require_once('XML/Serializer.php');
class Test
{
    public $f1;
    private $f2;

    public function __construct($f1, $f2)
    {
        $this->f1 = $f1;
        $this->f2 = $f2;
    }
}

$x = new Test('foo', 42);

$options = array(
  XML_SERIALIZER_OPTION_INDENT        => '    ',
  XML_SERIALIZER_OPTION_RETURN_RESULT => true
  );

$serializer = new XML_Serializer($options);
$result = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n" . $serializer->serialize($x);
file_put_contents('data.xml', $result);
