PHP XML add elements

Question

i tryed to do it with different codes but always with failure.

Here's my XML:

<movies>
  <movie>
    <title>Pav1</title>
    <plot>tekstas1</plot>
    </movie>
  <movie>
    <title>Pav2</title>
    <plot>tekstas2</plot>
  </movie>
</movies>

Here's the code i'm using:

<?php
  $xml = simplexml_load_file ( 'movies.xml' );
  $movies = $xml->addChild("movie");
  $movies->addChild("title", "title1");
  $movies->addChild("plot", "plot1");

  $xml->saveXML();
?>

Unfortunately, nothing happens after lounch. Thanks, for any advice.

What exactly is the failure? As Wrikken said, you have to output/display the XML you've generated ... are you getting an actual error message? — mr-sk, Apr 20 '12 at 17:25

idk if saveXML actually saves to file, try http://us2.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.save.php — squarephoenix, Apr 20 '12 at 17:27

You did not include the original filename in the last statement. This should fix it:

$xml->saveXML( 'movies.xml' );
