aside from the fact that this script has a big fat race condition waiting to happen,
and you should probably be using a database for storage, and that it seems to be possible
to inject just about *anything* into the guestbook.xml file (pr0n spam anyone?) ...
what exactly is going wrong?
at a guess $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is not set so nothing is being written, you
should use something like the following to get the data instead
(the comment is optional ;-):
// $xmlString is completely unvalidated/unsantized and could contain all sorts of crap!
$xmlString = file_get_contents('php://input');
also STFW, there is plenty out there regarding your problem, (including stuff
related specifically to flash), e.g.:
