It allows to add a child with some text, as in your example. But it doesn't allow you to add a tree, ie a node with sub-nodes, which is what I was looking for. If it does, could you give an example where eg the item to add is <book> <author>Smith, J</author> <title>PHP for dummies</title> <publisher>OUP</publisher> </book> >> I have a catalog in XML format: >> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> >> <catalog> >> <book> >> ... >> <book> >> <book> >> ... >> <book> >> ... >> </catalog> >> >> Now I want to add another book, >> which I have as a SimpleXMLElement: >> >> $book = new SimpleXMLElement($string); >> >> where $string reads >> <book> >> ... >> <book> >> >> Can I add this new entry to the catalog >> using SimpleXML functions, >> or do I have to introduce a DOMDocument? >> >> As may be obvious, I am very new to PHP programming; >> and advice or suggestions gratefully received. >> >> -- >> Timothy Murphy >> e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie >> tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 >> s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland > -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
