there is this:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-element-addChild.php
which will allow adding of string data (so you won't be needing to
create the new SimpleXMLElement object as per your example below).
obviously you will have to first load tghe complete xml document
into simplexml using one of the following:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-file.php
http://php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-string.php
I tried this, with several variations,
and I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible
to add a tree to a node as I asked using only simplexml functions.
If you have such a solution, I would love to see it.
If you would like an example, I might want to add the item:
book
authorSmith, J/author
titlePHP for dummies/title
publisherOUP/publisher
/book
My solution, for what it is worth, is something like
-
$docA = new DOMDocument;
$docB = new DOMDocument;
$docB-loadXML($book);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($docB);
$nodes = $xpath-query('//catalog/book');
foreach($nodes as $n) {
$new = $docA-importNode($n, true);
$docA-documentElement-appendChild($new);
}
$output = $docA-save(/tmp/catalog.xml);

[PHP] Re: Simple question
Hi Lab,
I normally use code of the following format, which I think is quite neat:
//Note that you do not need curely brackets in an if statement is there is
only one line
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
$add = $HTTP_POST_VARS['textbox'];
if ($add == 'Hello')
do something
//It is however recommended that you do the following in order to ensure
that a user does not try to use malicious code in their input
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
$add = clean($HTTP_POST_VARS['textbox'], 20);;
if ($add == 'Hello')
do something
where clean() is a function defined in an include as follows:
function clean($input, $maxlength)
{
$input = substr($input, 0, $maxlength);
$input = EscapeShellCmd($input);
return ($input);
}
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Andy

Hello, I have only one simple question..
I'm using this method to get the values from the text box:
if(isset($_POST[Submit]) $_POST[Submit]==Submit)
{
$add = $_POST['textbox'] ;
}
But I don't know how to write the source for this:
If the value from the textbox ($add) is Hello then.. do something.
I think it could be nicely done with IF, but I dont know how to write
this..
Can someone help me, please?

[PHP] Re: Simple question I guess.
I have a site with all my movies and stuff stored in a database. And I have made a admin page where I can add, delete and update records. When I add new records, I have made a listbox for the category (ex. action, comedy etc.) so I dont have to write it every time I add a new record. But when I push the update button and the data thats stored in the database is printed its printed just in a textarea. I know its possible to list the data in a listbox, but how do I get the right category selected for the movie I choose?

Re: [PHP] Re: Simple Question
hello, I don't know how for I got your problem but, If you trying to print a string like this eg : print This is Tom's book; In the above case you need not use a back slash to escape the single quote coz' php accepts single quote's within a double quote. Otherwise you can use stripslashes() which works like this. string stripslashes(string str); Returns a string with backslashes stripped off. (\' becomes ' and so on.) Double backslashes are made into a single backslash. regards - JFK Tom Ray [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

[PHP] Re: Simple Question: PHP, MySQL, HTML Form and NULL
Your form returns the date as an empty string which is an invalid date. MySQL sets all invalid dates to -00-00. There is a big difference between an empty string and NULL. If you want to insert NULL into the MySQL date field you will need to insert /0 which is the escape sequence for NULL. In the script that inserts the form data just add something like: if ($Date == ) $Date = /0; somewhere before the insert.

I have added a new column in an existing MYSQL table called event_date - type: DATE, NULL default. This database field will be filled if and when the field in the HTML form is complete. When I added the new field to MySQL, it automatically assigned NULL to all the existing records - which is what I wanted it to do. I tested the HTML form, and when someone enters a date in the HTML form, the date appears correctly in the table field. Perfect. Now my question: When the HTML form date field is left blank and the form is submitted, instead of putting NULL in the MySQL event_date field, I found: -00-00. Is this because the form is submitting an to the database field? Is there some kind of if/then statement I should use so that when the field is empty, NULL will be entered into that table field?
