Hello, i have founded script on kirupa, here is test online: [http://prva-gimnazija.edu.ba/list/index.php](http://prva-gimnazija.edu.ba/list/index.php) With this script I can ADD/DELETE content in XML file. I think i can use it to make some simple CMS for my flash website because flash all content reads from XML. What i need is form for EDITING existing nodes in XML file,and after editing to save that to my XML. So like that i will have fully XML update system.I’m beginner in PHP scripting so if someone can help me that would be great. Here is processForm.php in wich is xml praser: ```php "; if($_POST['action'] == "ins"){ array_push($songs, Array( "title" => $_POST['name'], "artist" => $_POST['artist'], "path" => $_POST['path'])); $songs_final = $songs; }else if($_POST['action'] == "del"){ $songs_final = Array(); foreach($songs as $song){ if($song['title'] != $_POST['name']){ array_push($songs_final, $song); } } } $write_string = ""; foreach($songs_final as $song){ $write_string .= ""; } $write_string .= ""; $fp = fopen("playlist.xml", "w+"); fwrite($fp, $write_string) or die("Error writing to file"); fclose($fp); print "Song inserted or deleted successfully :)
"; print "Return"; ?> ``` Here is index.php : ```php

Current entries:

$attrs[title]$attrs[artist]$attrs[path]"; } function end_tag($parser, $name){} $parser = xml_parser_create(); xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0); xml_set_element_handler($parser, "start_tag", "end_tag"); $table_string = ""; xml_parse($parser, file_get_contents("playlist.xml")) or die("Error parsing XML file"); $table_string .= "

Title	Artist	Path

"; echo $table_string; ?> ``` Here is playlist.xml : ```php ``` Thanks
