hello,

im doing a site for a friend, who would like a latest news feature - the [simple news editor](http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/newseditor.htm) would be perfect - its a work of genius!

however - being not partcularly adept at AS/PHP, i have put it on my server and i can’t work out why it works great but resets each time its refreshed.

i’ve looked through the code and cant see where the XML gets reset - am i being stupid - does it not permanently write the XML file?

thanks very much for any help

felix
