How to convert Laravel collection (or array) to XML?

Question

XML

Hello!
When migrating to Laravel, the function of outputting a query from the database as an XML document "broke". Problems started with the format (it makes me some kind of terrible hybrid of JSON and XML))) and with the encoding (gives all sorts of \u043f\u043e\u043d\u0440\u0430 and

$xml_string = html_entity_decode($xml_string, ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8');

does not help (before Laravel, it helped)))
What should I do?
How to easily and simply display a query like:

$xml = $model->whereBetween('created_at', [$date_from, $date_to])->get();

as a valid XML document?
I'm already leaning towards the fact that it's easier to assemble it "by hand" in a cycle.
But if there are ready-made solutions, I will be glad to learn about them.
Thank you.
P.S. In general, if you reformulate the original question, it sounds like this:
- How can you turn a Laravel collection into a regular multidimensional associative array with string values?
