PHP SimpleXML, how to set attributes?

attributes, php, set, simplexml

Solution

Remember, your XML document has to have a root element:

$xml = simplexml_load_string("<root>$string</root>");
$xml->hello[1]['name'] = 'John Doe';
$xml->hello[1]->anotherTag['title'] = 'Hello';
echo $xml->asXml();

To save the file use `asXML($filename)`

Problem

if you've got something like, ``` <hello id="1" name="myName1"> <anotherTag title="Hello"> </anotherTag> </hello> <hello id="2" name="myName2"> <anotherTag title="Hi"> </anotherTag> </hello> ``` How to change the attributes of, for example, hello id 2, to name="William" ? Or the title hi to hello ? Thanks a lot for your atention, H'
