Possible Duplicate:
A simple program to CRUD node and node values of xml file

This is an example XML file: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<notes>
   <note>
      <to>Tove</to>
      <from>Jani</from>
      <heading>Reminder</heading>
      <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
   </note>
</notes>

How to add another note (with all its elements) using SimpleXML?
addChild() adds only a child to an existing tree, as far as I know.

    Well, first I’d get a better reference. Maybe the PHP manual, which is a great resource:

    http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexml.examples-basic.php#example-5118

    This adds a node to your notes list:

    <?php

$notesxml = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<notes>
   <note>
      <to>Tove</to>
      <from>Jani</from>
      <heading>Reminder</heading>
      <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
   </note>
</notes>
XML;

$notes = new SimpleXMLElement($notesxml);

$note = $notes->addChild('note');
$note->addChild('to', 'Yourself');
$note->addChild('from', 'Billy Brown');
$note->addChild('heading', 'Another note');
$note->addChild('body', 'This is the body');

echo $notes->asXML();

?>

    You are looking at the right one. You just have to load the XML first, in whatever form it comes in.
