Thres another thing i cant figure out as well, Since i cant use "domxml_open_file" what should i use instead? Thanx again for any replies, ill get back to my guessing marathon now, hehe

Heres the thing. I did this tutorial about making making a small site where you can add articles and edit them using domxml, well i found that domxml doesnt work with php5 so i had to try and use dom. Im mostly guessing when im trying to find what i need on php.net manual. Anyways it seams like im gonna be able to do... maybe, hehe (trying anyways) But i come to a full stop now. Ill show the code for it below. Everything works fine, but the article id. in the form im using to fill out the information: When i fill in a article id, a name. It doesnt seam to save this. Instead it gets only a long number. I dont get it, it is suposed to show the name i give it and this number is just there to make sure the article name is uniqe. (?) $root->setAttribute($id, "id"); /*This is where i try to set a name to the article, but i only get a number... This is the part where i dont understand whats wrong*/ ... Ill just show you the full code <?php //stripslashes $headline = stripslashes($headline); $name = stripslashes($name); $email = stripslashes($email); $abstract = stripslashes($abstract); $keywords = stripslashes($keywords); //create document root $doc = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'iso-8859-1'); //Heres where i started making changes to the code from domxml to dom $root = $doc->createElement("article"); $root = $doc->appendChild($root); //add ID attribute //FIRST, let's make sure that the id they chose isn't going to overwrite a file! $dh = opendir('./xml/'); while ($file = readdir($dh)){ $string = $id . ".xml"; if (eregi("^\\.\\.?$", $file)) { continue; } if (eregi($string, $file)){ $time = date("U"); //number of seconds since unix epoch $id = $id . "-" . $time; } } $root->setAttribute($id, "id"); /*This is where i try to set a name to the article, but i only get a number... This is the part where i dont understand whats wrong*/ //create headline $head = $doc->createElement("headline"); $head = $root->appendChild($head); $htext = $doc->createTextNode($headline); $htext = $head->appendChild($htext); //create author name $aname = $doc->createElement("author"); $aname = $root->appendChild($aname); $atext = $doc->createTextNode($name); $atext = $aname->appendChild($atext); //create author email $mail = $doc->createElement("email"); $mail = $root->appendChild($mail); $mtext = $doc->createTextNode($email); $mtext = $mail->appendChild($mtext); //create abstract $abs = $doc->createElement("abstract"); $abs = $root->appendChild($abs); $abstext = $doc->createTextNode($abstract); $abstext = $abs->appendChild($abstext); //create keyword listing $keylisting = $doc->createElement("keywords"); $keylisting = $root->appendChild($keylisting); $ktext = $doc->createTextNode($keywords); $ktext = $keylisting->appendChild($ktext); //create status, always in progress when first created $stat = $doc->createElement("status"); $stat = $root->appendChild($stat); $stat_text = $doc->createTextNode($status); $stat_text = $stat->appendChild($stat_text); //create paras if (is_array($body)){ foreach ($body as $K => $V){ if ($V != ""){ $V = stripslashes($V); $para = $doc->createElement("para-$K"); $para = $root->appendChild($para); $ptext = $doc->createTextNode($V); $ptext = $para->appendChild($ptext); //$para->set_attribute('order', $K); } } } //write to the file $filename = "./xml/".$id . ".xml"; $doc->save($filename); //send user back to adminindex header("Location:adminindex.php"); ?> I hope someone understands my Jibberish, and hope someone can help me understand what im doing wrong. Thanx a million for any help.
