Some Time ago i make something like that. It was just quite easy...
You just have to assign an array to an Value with the PHP Upload-File Keys

// Generate your XML
// Save it
$yourFilename = MODX_CORE_PATH.'cache/my.xml';

$data['error'] = UPLOAD_ERR_OK;
$data['name'] = basename($yourFilename);
$data['tmp_name'] = $newTmpName;

$hook->setValue('upload', $data);

Thanks for that, I've done a similar thing in the past generating pdfs and then emailing them with PHPmailer, so I think I know how attach the temporary file and send the email, but I don't know how to create the temporary XML file in the first place! Any ideas?
