Editing a XML file based upon string then assigning to string.

[ChrisMartino]

Hey there,

 

Thanks for taking the time to read my thread. My issue is that I can't think of a way to edit a XML file using PHP's XML functionality and then assign the edited contents to a string instead of saving the file. Because my issue is that I have to edit the XML file based upon a string brought from a remote location then give it back to that remote location using a string again, to be exact I am doing it via Linux command line utilizing SSH2.

 

This is what I managed to complete on my own.

 

function CheckIVMPConfig($ServerID)
{
	global $Panel;

	if(is_numeric($ServerID) && $this->IsValidServer($ServerID))
	{
		// We select the game server that the FTP account was created for.
		$Servers = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM control_servers WHERE server_id = '".mysql_real_escape_string($FTPAccount['ftp_server'])."'");
		$Server = mysql_fetch_array($Servers);

		// Here we select the Box ID that the game server is on.
		$Boxs = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM control_machines WHERE machine_id = '".$Server['server_machine']."'");
		$Box = mysql_fetch_array($Boxs);

		// Now we select the required package for the box.
		$Packages = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM control_packages WHERE package_id = '".$Server['server_package']."'");
		$Package = mysql_fetch_array($Packages);

		// Retrive the file.
		$Config = $CProtocol->exec("cat /home/{$Server['server_id']}/{$Package['package_config']}");

		$Parse = SimpleXMLElement($Config);

		foreach($Parse as $Entry) // loop through our books
		{
			if($Entry->port != $Server['server_port'])
			{
				// edit the value
			}
			else if($Entry->maxplayers > $Server['server_slots'])
			{
				// edit the value
			}
		}
	}
}
