Error > processing resource file:///C:/n.xml'. " It is rather clear. As HTML may have syntax errors and be correctly displayed, an XML document can't. Any XML compilant processor will refuse to process XML with errors. An XML MUST have TOP LEVEL ELEMENT. HTML should have it also (<HTML> & </HTML> pair). This means that you can NOT simply append some content do XML file, becouse it would add some text AFTER ending tag of top element. I haven't read your code, becouse I think your problem is with understanding XML where everything MUST by correct. To get correct results try to remove last line of XML document (with top element's closing tag), append file and, finally, place closing tag. Or store your data in database (such as textfile) and generate your XML dynamically with PHP as others do.
