The XML example in the previous post:
Can be created with the following code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<message>
<subject>Hello</subject>
<from>user@example.com</from>
<to>user2@example.com</to>
<body>Hello World</body>
</message>
<?php
//create SimpleXML object
$xml = simplexml_load_string("<message></message>");
//add subject element
$xml->addChild('subject','Hello');
//add from element
$xml->addChild('from','user@example.com');
//add to element
$xml->addChild('to','user2@example.com');
//add body element
$xml->addChild('body','Hello World');
//output XML
echo $xml->asXML();
?>
You can also add sub elements to elements that you create: for example if your XML files was to have a list of messages:
This will output:
<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_string("<messages></messages>");
//add child to xml object and return new object for that child
$message1 = $xml->addChild('message');
$message1->addChild('subject','Hello');
$message1->addChild('from','user@example.com');
$message1->addChild('to','user2@example.com');
$message1->addChild('body','Hello World');
//add second child to xml object and return new object for that child
$message2 = $xml->addChild('message');
$message2->addChild('subject','Hello Again');
$message2->addChild('from','user@example.com');
$message2->addChild('to','user2@example.com');
$message2->addChild('body','Hello World Take 2');
//output XML
echo $xml->asXML();
?>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<messages>
<message>
<subject>Hello</subject>
<from>user@example.com</from>
<to>user2@example.com</to>
<body>Hello World</body>
</message>
<message>
<subject>Hello Again</subject>
<from>user@example.com</from>
<to>user2@example.com</to>
<body>Hello World Take 2</body>
</message>
</messages>
