On another note, I checked the permission of my folder that I was attempting to write in, which all users have write, modify, read and execute permissions. I don't see any 500 or permission denied errors, and I use IIS, so I don't use apache. It didn't work though, the suggestion you provided on simpleXML looks promising, and yet I am writing not to the child, and plus I seem to be getting a 500 error. Another thing is, do I need to "save" the file after all this echoing is done using simpleXML? BTW, here is the code, which I am sure that I must have done something wrong here. Could anyone please help me out here? Thanks for your help. Is it possible that I could do it the way I did it before by any chance? <?php $name= "Test"; $phone= "123-456-7890"; $email = "mymail@mail.com"; $comments = "Test Only"; //If file exists. append, otherwise create $file = "messages.xml"; $xml = simplexml_load_file($file); $xml-> messages[0]->addChild("message", ""); $xml -> message[0]->addChild("name",$name); $xml -> message[0] ->addChild("phone",$phone); $xml -> message[0] -> addChild("email",$email); $xml-> message[0] -> addChild("comments",$comments); echo $xml->asXML(); ?> Alice > Le 27 juin 2010 à 13:20, Alice Wei <ajwei@alumni.iu.edu> a écrit : > > > > > Hi, > > > > I have the code as in the following: > > > > <?php > > > > $name= "Test"; > > $phone= "123-456-7890"; > > $email = "myemail@mymail.com"; > > $comments = "Test Only"; > > > > $string = "<message>\n<name>" . $name . > > "</name>\n<phone>" . $phone .
