xml dom and xpath

[corillo181]

i got an idea of the code i want to do

<?php

// create a new dom document
$dom = new DomDocument();

//loading the xml file
$dom->load('test2.xml');

// creating a new  dom xpath
$xpath = new Domxpath($dom);

// the query of wha ti want to search for
$query = "artists/artist[@id=1]";

// taking the result record into a variable
$result = $xpath->query($query);

// getting the element songs from the extrated record
$song  = $dom->getElementByTagName('songs');

// adding a new child to the songs
$song->appendChild('Jay Jay');

// saving the cahnges
$dom->save('test2.xml');
?>

 

of course this does not working, but I'm sure that idea is there..

 

if no one can help me is there another forum where i could be helped?

$song is a NodeList, but you are trying to use it as a Node.  That's probably where the error is.

my reason for learning is that i want to do a mp3 and flash doesn't communicate with mysql.
