XML Question

[dennismonsewicz]

Is there anyway to overwrite a value in an XML document?

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<files>
<create>
	<name>coxdeductible.create.csv</name>
</create>
<insert>
	<name>coxdeductible.insert.csv</name>
</insert>
<check>
	<installed>no</installed>
</check>
</files>

 

I want to rewrite the check value to be yes in my php program

You'd use the SimpleXML library that PHP should be installed with:

<?php
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstring);
$xml->files->create[2]->check->installed = yes;

 

Don't quote me on the code, but you can easily manipulate XML with the extension:

Hmmm I am using simplexml_load_string... how could I incorporate your example with that functionality?
