Modifying an existing XML file

[mastermode]

Hello there!

This is very unfamiliar terrain for me, I don't know a lot about PHP.

I've recently used some of it's abilities to create an XML file, based on some XML data that I would have sent from Flash via an XML object. But every time the XML would get modified, I would have had Flash send the whole data, overwriting the existing content.

Now, I have this question (which I know probably is a noob question, but meh..): If I send an XML Node from Flash, and use PHP to catch it, can I open the XML file, alter its content (i.e concatenating the new node) and then close the file, all of this within the PHP script?

I hope I haven't wasted your time with this.

Cheers!

Um.. Thinking that this was a noob topic, shortly after I posted this I started to document myself, trying to sort out this problem.

And after a not so lengthy search, I came across the simpleXML stuff... and the functions. And I now have a script that modifies an existing XML file

Sorry for posting this, but for people who might bump in this problem, I would like to post the two links that have proven very useful for me:

This is the source of it all: http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php
And this is a concrete example (I used it as a starting point) :http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=165648

Again, sorry for wasting precious space and time, mods can delete / close this thread, as they wish
