I have a flash guest book. With every entry new xml node is placed at the end of the xml file.  
How do I append new xml node at the top of the file. With this code it goes to the botom.

\<?php  
$file = fopen("…/xml/guestbook.xml", “w+”) or die(“Can’t open XML file”);  
$xmlString = $HTTP\_RAW\_POST\_DATA;  
if(!fwrite($file, $xmlString)){  
print “Error writing to XML-file”;  
}  
print $xmlString."  
";  
fclose($file);
