MySQL / XML Question

[jeffc418]

Hi all! So I've been reading about the "FOR XML AUTO" function which sounds great, but it hasn't been working when I try it in phpmyadmin. I get an error in the area of "FOR XML AUTO", I know SimpleXML is disabled on my package but would that be why it's not working there? Once I get that to work, I need any values with a similar column to combine, such as:

orders cname cadd
1000 Name1 Address1
2000 Name2 Address2
2000 Name3 Address3

I need the output to be:

<orders value="1000">
<cname value="Name1">
<cadd>Address 1</cadd>
</cname>
</orders>

<orders value="2000">
<cname value="Name 2">
<cadd>Address 2</cadd>
</cname>
<cname value="Name3">
<cadd>Address 3</cadd>
</cname>
</orders>

See how the ones with the similar index merge? THANKS SO MUCH :). Any help is appreciated!
