PHP XML

[EKsparky]

Hi ive created a basic admin panel for a friends website so he can add news, pictures to a gallary and calander

Heres my problem i want for him to be able to add dates and content to calendar via html form

I've searched for hours on how to add new nodes to xml form tried a few different tutorials and scripts out but with no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

My xml is as follows

<calendar>
<event>
<date>2008-01-01</date>
<title>New Year's Day</title>
<url></url>
</event>

<event>
<date>2008-02-05</date>
<title>Test</title>
<url></url>
</event>
</calendar>

 

this  is the sort  php code i  seem to be finding to add nodes

 

<?php

#load an XML document into the DOM

$dom -> load( "calendar.xml" );



// create root element
$root = $dom->createElement("event");
$dom->appendChild($root);

// create child element
$date = $dom->createElement("date");
$root->appendChild($date);
$title = $dom->createElement("title");
$root->appendChild($title);
$url = $dom->createElement("url");
$root->appendChild($url);

// create text node
$text_date = $dom->createTextNode("2008-02-10");
$date->appendChild($text_date);

$text_title = $dom->createTextNode("testing");
$title->appendChild($text_title);

$text_url = $dom->createTextNode("www.need-help.com");
$url->appendChild($text_url);

// save and display tree
$dom-> save ("calendar.xml");
?>

 

I assumed that if that worked i would just change date text and url with vars from html form

 

Ive chmod 777 .xml

Thanks in advance
