How to delete child nods??!

Where do you want to edit this XML? in your client side script using java script or on server side in PHP? — HaBo, Aug 21 '13 at 01:27

You should look into DOMDocument which can parse XML or HTML, modify it and export the modified version back to a string.

hi André Daniel how to delete a child node – user2645118 Aug 21 '13 at 01:45
@user2645118 `node.removeChild($child)`, as described here : http://php.net/manual/en/domnode.removechild.php - there is also a nice example showing how to load an XML file and how to save the modified XML, that's similar to what you need. – Aug 21 '13 at 01:53
That would be $node->removeChild($child) – ChicagoRedSox Aug 21 '13 at 03:28
@ChicagoRedSox i'm too used to Python lately... too bad i can't edit my comment. Thanks for correcting me though. – Aug 21 '13 at 03:35
