Question

I have the following XML structure, and I would like to have code that:

INSERTS

DELETES
Delete an entire element based on its TITLE value.

Replace the publisher’s value with another value

<Game type="XXX">
<TITLE>XXX</TITLE>
<PUBLISHER>XXX</PUBLISHER>
</Game>

This is my XML structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding ="utf-8"?>
<GameStore>
    <Game type="adventure">
        <TITLE>Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood</TITLE>
        <PUBLISHER>Ubisoft</PUBLISHER>
    </Game>

    <Game type="adventure">
        <TITLE>Batman: Arkham Asylum</TITLE>
        <PUBLISHER>Eidos</PUBLISHER>
    </Game>
</GameStore>

Answer 1

You will need to learn http://www.php.net/manual/fr/book.dom.php for manipulating xml.

There is some hints :

// Inserts
$new_node = $dom->createElement('foo', 'bar');
$gamestore_node = $xpath->query('/*')->item(0)->appendChild($new_node);
echo $dom->saveXML();

// Delete based on title
$deletable_node = $xpath->query("//Game[TITLE/text() = 'Batman: Arkham Asylum']")->item(0);
$deletable_node->parentNode->removeChild($deletable_node);
echo $dom->saveXML();

// EDIT Replace Publisher's value with another value
$editable_node = $xpath->query("//PUBLISHER[text() = 'Ubisoft']")->item(0);
$editable_node->nodeValue = 'baz';
echo $dom->saveXML();
