I had the hardest time updating a complex XML document. Here's a quick example on how to do it. <?php // Load the XML from a file. $xml = "a2062.xml"; // This is an XFDL form previously unencoded and ungzipped. $dom = new DOMDocument(); $dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false; $dom->Load($xml); // Create an XPath query. // Note: you must define the namespace if the XML document has defined namespaces. $xpath = new DOMXPath($dom); $xpath->registerNamespace('xfdl', "http://www.PureEdge.com/XFDL/6.5"); // Locate the value for the first Item Description field. $query = "//xfdl:page/xfdl:field[@sid='ITEMDESA']/xfdl:value"; $nodeList = $xpath->query($query); $nodeList->item(0)->nodeValue = "This is the text in the value node of the first Item Description field inside the DA 2062 PureEdge form."; $dom->save($xml); ?> I hope this helps someone. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 214.13.16.115 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93637 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93637/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93637/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93637/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93637/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93637/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93637/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93637 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93637 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
