This is a php-general list question but here goes anyway:
$openingItemTag = "<item>\n";
$openingEntry = ' <entry ';
$numberAtt = 'number="';
$nameAtt = '" name="';
$dateAtt = '" date="';
$messageAtt = '" message="';
$linkAtt = '" link="';
$closingEntry = "\"/>\n";
$closingItemTag = "</item>\n";
NOTE: this is untested but it should work.
