you can use:

file_put_contents("myxmlfile.xml", $string);

For just storing the XML to a file, go with Teneff's answer.

But if you also want to parse the XML, use SimpleXML (or even better: XMLReader / XMLWriter).

Of course, you could also use DOM, but out of all the possibilities around, this would be the slowest and most memory consuming one.
