Searching particular data in XML file

[himanshuweb2]

Hi,

I want to search particular data (using empid as the primary key) in a long XML file:(following is just 2 elements of that xml file, it contains 1000s of records)

 

Example:

 

<company>

<employee>

<empid>109</empid>

<fname>John</fname>

<lname>Graph</lname>

<age>28</age>

</employee>

<employee>

<empid>110</empid>

<fname>Anna</fname>

<lname>Laoe</lname>

<age>32</age>

</employee>

</company>

 

 

I want to fetch a particular record (using PHP), and populate it in textbox. The end user can then update the selected record. Then the data should be stored back to the original XML file.

 

Also if the end-user wishes to delete the particular record that record should be deleted through the XML file.

 

Regards,

Himanshu
