Don’t understand file generation.

So, basically what my problem is, is that I don’t understand file generation at all, I’m also (Currently) using shared hosting, (Planning on switching to dedicated hosting later, if this works out) so I can’t install any PHP Libraries.

In a nutshell my script does a bunch of database checks, and random generation after the purchase of a product to create a unique software key that is to be stored in an XML file, to be used with my Server application that I’m getting ready to market.

I’m not a very experienced web-developer by any means, but I can usually get by, this however takes the cake on the most annoying thing I’ve ever dealt with.

The XML File contains the following information.

[code]<Account Username=”?” Password=”?” Key=”?”></Account>[/code]

After doing hours and hours of research I found a method that was supposed to generate and make the user download the file, but it doesn’t work:

[CODE]
header(‘Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=License.xml’);
header(‘Content-Type: text/xml’);
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$xml = $dom->createTextNode(‘<Account Username=”‘.$fuser.'” Password=”‘.$fpass.'” Key=”‘.$softwareKey.'”></Account>’);
$xml = $dom->appendChild($xml);
echo $dom->saveXML();
[/CODE]

I would assume it doesn’t work because I have content on the website, so what this does it it downloads the website (in .HTML format) and saves it as License.XML and downloads it to the users computer. They don’t need my websites source code! They need the String i passed into $dom!

I’m looking for a method to do the following(Atleast one of them):

[LIST]

All of this needs to be done while the website’s page can be viewed, because there’s a bunch of information about how to use the License, where it belongs, and how to configure their application to parse it.
