I currently run a custom-built small-scale 'repository' of learning
objects, a very basic interface to which is at
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nursing/sonet/rlos/rlolist.php. It's a mySQL
database queried by PHP scripts. I'd like to expose the learning object
records in the database as a XML file for harvesting and/or SRU
querying, but I really, really don't fancy writing the PHP code from
scratch and studying the OAI-PMH and SRU protocols in eye-scrunching
suicide-inducing detail. As plenty of repositories expose their records
this way I figure that there must be PHP libraries/classes which I can
use, so could someone here point me towards them. And perhaps to
something like "A PHP developers guide to exposing data in XML"?

I suspect that this might be the wrong list to ask, but I'm reluctant to
post the query to web-support as although folk there know plenty about
PHP/mySQL they'll be mostly ignorant of metadata protocols like OIA-PMH,
SRU, CDM and bar. 

Cheers
