How can I Add newer Data to the start of the xml file (Example inside)
- by Ofear
Hi All!
After alot of work i finish to make a xml reader and writer...
but my problem is that i want the newer data that i insert using my form will be added to the top of the xml file.
and not in the bottom..
let me show you an example:
this is the XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<events>
<record>
<event>old event</event>
<eventDate>1/1/2009</eventDate>
<desc>old desc</desc>
</record>
<record>
<event>newer event</event>
<eventDate>12/12/2011</eventDate>
<desc>newer desc</desc>
</record>
</events>
now..
I want the XML file to be like this: newer data and then old data
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<events>
<record>
<event>newer event</event>
<eventDate>12/12/2011</eventDate>
<desc>newer desc</desc>
</record>
<record>
<event>old event</event>
<eventDate>1/1/2009</eventDate>
<desc>old desc</desc>
</record>
</events>
This is my add.php (the file that get the POST information from the Form in the main.html :
<?php
$record = array(
'event' => $_POST['event'],
'eventDate' => $_POST['eventDate'],
'desc' => $_POST['desc'],
);
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load( 'events.xml' );
$doc->formatOutput = true;
$r = $doc->getElementsByTagName("events")->item(0);
$b = $doc->createElement("record");
$event = $doc->createElement("event");
$event->appendChild(
$doc->createTextNode( $record["event"] )
);
$b->appendChild( $event );
$eventDate = $doc->createElement("eventDate");
$eventDate->appendChild(
$doc->createTextNode( $record["eventDate"] )
);
$b->appendChild( $eventDate );
$desc = $doc->createElement("desc");
$desc->appendChild(
$doc->createTextNode( $record["desc"] )
);
$b->appendChild( $desc );
$r->appendChild( $b );
$doc->save("events.xml");
header("Location: {$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']}");
?>
Where do i need to edit to be able to make the *xml as i want?*
