<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<messages>
<post>

<userName>lala</userName>
<text>some nice text</text>
<timePosted>12456754</timePosted>
</post>
</messages>

I want to add a new post to messages, how do I do it? I tried adding it with addChild, didn’t work.

Answer 1

// Load the XML file
$xml = simplexml_load_file($filename);

// Create a new child node
$child = $xml->addChild('post');
$child->addChild('id', $id);
$child->addChild('userName', $username);
$child->addChild('text', $text);
$child->addChild('timePosted', $timeposted);

// Save the updated XML back to the file
$xml->asXML($filename);
