How do I Convert jSON to XML

Instead of feeding your function an object, try to feed an array instead:

$jSON = json_decode($raw_data, true);
                            //  ^ add second parameter flag `true`

Example:

function array2xml($array, $xml = false){

    if($xml === false){
        $xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<result/>');
    }

    foreach($array as $key => $value){
        if(is_array($value)){
            array2xml($value, $xml->addChild($key));
        } else {
            $xml->addChild($key, $value);
        }
    }

    return $xml->asXML();
}

$raw_data = file_get_contents('http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=pN3QwSHU');
$jSON = json_decode($raw_data, true);

$xml = array2xml($jSON, false);

echo '<pre>';
print_r($xml);

Is there an xml_encode() like json_encode() in PHP?

JSON can express php arrays, integers, strings, etc. natively. XML has no such concepts - just elements, attributes, and text. If you want to transfer an object verbatim, use JSON. If you want to implement a complex API, use XML, for example the php DOM interface.

Convert an array to XML or JSON

This works for associative arrays.

    function array2xml($array, $node_name="root") {
    $dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
    $dom->formatOutput = true;
    $root = $dom->createElement($node_name);
    $dom->appendChild($root);

    $array2xml = function ($node, $array) use ($dom, &$array2xml) {
        foreach($array as $key => $value){
            if ( is_array($value) ) {
                $n = $dom->createElement($key);
                $node->appendChild($n);
                $array2xml($n, $value);
            }else{
                $attr = $dom->createAttribute($key);
                $attr->value = $value;
                $node->appendChild($attr);
            }
        }
    };

    $array2xml($root, $array);

    return $dom->saveXML();
}
