Re: appendChild help?

[Dan A. <big...@us...>]

Remember, appendChild returns the absolute path (aka /root[1]/newchild[1]) so that you don't have to figure it out manually after adding the new child.  so you can do

$newnode = $xml->appendChild("/root[1]","newchild");
$xml->appendData($newnode,"data);
