Open and Write to XML file

[kailuaboy]

I am wondering how I can open and write to my XML file?

 

I have this so far:  Am I close?

 

<?php

 

$loc = 'http://www.domain.com/123/file.xml' . $_GET['zcid'];

 

 

 

//This is where I am adding the text

$replace_word = '<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"textEdit="text to add"?><testXML>';

 

//Fill the string

$str = file_get_contents($loc);

 

//Display the page

echo ereg_replace($replace_word, $str);

 

?>

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

If your server has php 5+ then you could use simpleXML

you got the complete or simplified xml file you wish to edit and save?

I am not sure. I do have a XML file though.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<test>

  <test abcNo="u83" hello="George" username="nhu83" />

  <test1 abcNo="u82" hello="John" username="nhu82" />

</test>

 

How do I use SimpleXML to open and add this:

  <test1 abcNo="u86" hello="John" username="nhu86" />

or

 

  <test1 abcNo="u88" hello="George" username="nhu88" />

 

I know only basics about PHP.  I do not know too much.  Please help.

to check which version of php you have just run this

phpinfo();

 

if it is 5 or above read you xml like so

$xml = simplexml_load_file('yourxml.xml','SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);
