Answer 1

After spending about 3 days on this very same problem, I have come to find the best and easiest way to get past this may be affffding the folling headers to the code:

header("Content-type: text/xml");
        header( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$_SESSION['WorkTable'].'_contacts-'.$date.'.xml');

Add this to your code between this lines:

$query = $query->result_array();
//add it here <--
header("Content-type: text/xml");

Answer 2

Without seeing the text output itself, it would be impossible to know for sure, but there are a couple of things I noticed immediately:

1. To debug this, send the header header("Content-type: text");.
2. parseToXML is an attempt to re-invent the wheel, use htmlentities.
3. (This and the following should be irrelevant, you should be using htmlentities) You are replacing & after replacing everything else with an entity. This means you're getting, < instead of <.
4. str_replace takes arrays as parameters, you would be best using them.
