need to finish php code to fill DB

[madcrazy1]

<?php
$var=$_POST["fname"];            
$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->loadXML($var);

$root = $xmlDoc->documentElement;              
$elms = $root->getElementsByTagName("*");      


foreach ($elms as $item) {
  // gets the name and the value of each $item
  $tag = $item->nodeName;
  $value = $item->nodeValue;

  // outputs the $tag and $value
  echo $tag. ' = '. $value . '';

 

I want to use the code above to get all the xml files parent and child names and values

and get them into the database. is this going to work?

thanks in advance
