Grabbing number of Followers from multiple Social Media sites to one XML - php

Question

I am looking for a script which grabs the Followers from multiple Social Media Sites to one XML.
Example:
I do have multiple Social Media Channels, e.g.:
facebook.com/fbchannel1
facebook.com/fbchannel2
twitter.com/twchannel1
twitter.com/twchannel2
youtube.com/user/ytchannel1
youtube.com/user/ytchannel2
plus.google.com/11111/
plus.google.com/22222/
Now I want to sum up all the Followers of each network, say:
facebook.com/fbchannel1 //200 Followers
facebook.com/fbchannel2 //300 Followers
= 500 FB Followers
twitter.com/twchannel1 //200 Followers
twitter.com/twchannel2 //300 Followers
= 500 TW Followers
youtube.com/user/ytchannel1 //200 Followers
youtube.com/user/ytchannel2 //300 Followers
= 500 YT Followers
plus.google.com/11111/ //200 Followers
plus.google.com/22222/ //300 Followers
= 500 G+ Followers
The script should then put these data into the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?><socialMedia xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<social>
<network>Facebook</network>
<followers>500</followers>
</social>
<social>
<network>Twitter</network>
<followers>500</followers>
</social>
<social>
<network>Google+</network>
<followers>500</followers>
</social>
<social>
<network>YouTube</network>
<followers>500</followers>
</social>
What I did so far and where my limited skills end.
Merging various codes into one .php gave me this:

I used following code:
Facebook
<?php
//The following code returns the Number of likes for any facebook page.
//Page Id of TechRecite.com. Replace it with your page.
$page_id = "fbchannel1";
$likes = 0; //Initialize the count
//Construct a Facebook URL
$json_url ='https://graph.facebook.com/'.$page_id.'';
$json = file_get_contents($json_url);
$json_output = json_decode($json);
//Extract the likes count from the JSON object
if($json_output->likes){
$likes = $json_output->likes;
}
//Printing the count
echo ''.$likes.'';
?>
Twitter
#twchannel1<br>
YouTube
<?php
$data = file_get_contents('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/zeissbettervision?alt=json');
$data = json_decode($data, true);
$stats_data = $data['entry']['yt$statistics'];
echo ''.$stats_data['subscriberCount'].'';
?>
How do I get these scripts to parse their output in the XML I mentioned before?
Thank you so much in advance!

Alright, this is my current code. It works quite well so far, except of G+, which I could not get running until now.
Twitter does not even need a token to work. I dont know why, to be honest.
<?php
/* Gathering Number of Facebook Followers */
$facebookpage1 = file_get_contents('http://graph.facebook.com/facebookpage1');
$facebookpage2 = file_get_contents('http://graph.facebook.com/facebookpage2');
$facebookpage1 = json_decode($facebookpage1, true);
$facebookpage2 = json_decode($facebookpage2, true);
echo ''.$facebookpage1['likes'].'<br>';
echo ''.$facebookpage2['likes'].'<br>';
$var1 = $facebookpage1['likes'];
$var2 = $facebookpage2['likes'];
$FBtotal = $var1 + $var2;
?>
<?php
/* Gathering Number of Twitter Followers */
$DATAtwittersite1 = file_get_contents('http://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/users/lookup.json?screen_name=twittersite1');
$DATAtwittersite2 = file_get_contents('http://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/users/lookup.json?screen_name=twittersite2');
$DATAtwittersite1 = json_decode($DATAtwittersite1, true);
$DATAtwittersite2 = json_decode($DATAtwittersite2, true);
$twittersite1 = $DATAtwittersite1['0'];
$twittersite2 = $DATAtwittersite2['0'];
echo ''.$twittersite1['followers_count'].'<br>';
echo ''.$twittersite2['followers_count'].'<br>';
$var1 = $twittersite1['followers_count'];
$var2 = $twittersite2['followers_count'];
$TWtotal = $var1 + $var2;
?>
<?php

$DATAyoutubechannel1 = file_get_contents('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/youtubechannel1?alt=json');

$ZeissMicroscopyyoutubechannel2 = $DATAyoutubechannel2['entry']['yt$statistics'];
echo ''.$youtubechannel1['subscriberCount'].'<br>';
echo ''.$youtubechannel2['subscriberCount'].'<br>';
$var1 = $youtubechannel1['subscriberCount'];
$var2 = $youtubechannel2['subscriberCount'];
$YTtotal = $var1 + $var2;
