Google Shopping feed generator in PHP

#Google Shopping Product Feed A PHP library to generate a Google Shopping feed. Data to fill the feed could be retrieved from a database, json or xml file, or added manually.

Issues, feature requests, and pull requests always welcome!

This has been tested on a UK, German, and French feed so far. Functions to santise data to make it pass Google's Merchant Centre validation have been used and will be added. This mainly applies to edge-cases on size and colour variations.
