I am trying to create an XML file using a PHP script. The XML File looks something like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <ConsumerDirectXML> <UserParams id="1" BrokerID="1"/> <LoanParams> <FirstLeinAmt>500000</FirstLeinAmt> <ChooseProductTypeID>1</ChooseProductTypeID> </LoanParams> </ConsumerDirectXML> The part that I don't understand is the following. I have a series of checkboxes with each box having a different value. If a user were to select 3 checkboxes I need to iterate through the array and write to the ChooseProductTypeID field in the XML file as such, <ChooseProductTypeID>1,5,7</ChooseProductTypeID>. I have been able to print out the array variable $num using the following foreach loop: foreach ($total as $num) { print("$num,"); } How would I get this string into the designated XML tag? Currently I am able to write to this XML file using textboxes and the following code for different XML tags in same file. How would I modify what I am currently using for textboxes to use for the checkboxes while utilitzing the foreach loop. Below is the method by which I am writting to my XML file: if ($node_name == "FirstLeinAmt") { if ($value == $firstlein) { // Do nothing } else { $fl_textnode = $child_obj->firstChild; $new_firstlein = $doc->createTextNode($firstlein); $child_obj->replaceChild($new_firstlein, $fl_textnode); } } foreach ($total as $num) { if ($node_name == "ChoosedProductTypeID") { if ($value == $num) { // Do nothing } else { $pt_textnode = $child_obj->firstChild; $new_num = $doc->createTextNode("$num,"); $child_obj->replaceChild("$new_num", "$pt_textnode"); }} ... Any help appreciated.
