Hi,
I did try changing the fclose to after all the brackets in my php file. 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 = "mym...@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();
?>
