Editing xml in PHP

[ChrisMartino]

Hey there,

 

Well i was wondering if there was some way i could do this, In my control panel it starts the server by using the following command format in php:

 

$ssh->exec('some linux command here');

 

Now when I want to start the server i want to edit the values in the server.xml that holds the port information and max player information, Here is the server.xml that i would need to edit:

 

<settings>
<!-- Port the server will listen on -->
<port>9999</port>

<!-- Maximum number of players the server will support (Max 32) -->
<maxplayers>32</maxplayers>

<!-- Maximum number of vehicles the server will support (Max 100) -->
<maxvehicles>100</maxvehicles>

<!-- Password clients will have to enter to connect -->
<!--password>None</password-->

<!-- Add the server to the master list -->
<listed>false</listed>

<!-- The hostname players will see -->
<hostname>[~]- IV-Freeroam -[~]</hostname>

<!-- The address the server will bind to -->
<!-- hostaddress>127.0.0.1</hostaddress-->

<!-- The scripts the server will load and run -->
<script>Freeroam.nut</script>

</settings>

 

I would need to edit it via the command line linux but i don't know how to change the value of the max players and port each time i start the server, Dose anyone have a idea.
