How to convert XML file to tab-delimited text file

I need to convert an XML file to a tab-delimited text file. I have been experimenting with XPath, DOM, and XSLT using PHP as the scripting language. I thought XSLT would be the way to go but everything I have seen is for creating an output file that is structured as an HTML document, but with a server-side scripting language extension (php, asp, etc).

In a nutshell, my project involves making a web app to allow users to browse for an application-generated XML file and convert it to a tab-delimited text file, which is then ingested into a database.

Can anyone tell me if I am using the right technologies to accomplish my goal? If I抦 not, which direction should I go?

Thanks in advance.
