[postgis-users] Write out KML for each database record?

[Guido Lemoine]

Dane,

Why not drop PHP and learn Java instead? You can combine JDBC access to
your data base (simply looping through your resultset, which can have 
askml() as
one of the columns) with Java's XML document processing (JDOM) to do
all you want to do.
