How to take HTML form data and write to XML using JQuery?

Question

I have a form that looks like this:

Animal:


        

Answer 1

You have to send Labels within hidden inputs, etc:

Animal:


Sausage:


Bird:


Dessert:

and then in PHP you access pairs:

$name = "a";  // "s", "g", "d"

$tag = $_POST[$name.'_label'];
$value = $_POST[$name];
$xml_element = "<$tag>$value";

OR

use same name as label and then use:

foreach($_POST as $key => $value)    
{
    $xml_element = "<$key>$value";
    ...
}
