I'm using PHP to extract data from a MySQL database. I am able to build an XML file using DOM functions. Then using echo $dom->saveXML(); , I am able to return the XML from an AJAX call. Instead of using AJAX to get the XML, how would I save the XML file to a spot on the server? Thanks

Use the DOMDocument::save() method to save the XML document into a file:
$dom->save('document.xml');

Use PHP XML DOM Parser to create and save XML file. The following code and tutorial would be found from here - Create and Save XML File using PHP
$xmlString = 'Insert XML Content';
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->preserveWhiteSpace = FALSE;
$dom->loadXML($xmlString);
$dom->save('fileName.xml');

Besides "save" option of the DOM itself stated by two previous ansers, you could also use this piece of code:
$strxml = $dom->saveXML();
$handle = fopen("yourxmlfile.xml", "w");
fwrite($handle, $strxml);
fclose($handle);
And you are done.
Remember that the user running your application server (Apache, probably) will need permissions to write in the directory you are placing the XML file.
