Ok - I am a n00b to PHP but i honestly can not understand why this wont work. It may be because I have an older version of PHP or something but if you go to www.erudianart.com/05/PHPtest/test.php , the source code looks like this.

code:
<!DOCTYPE html

    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html>

<head>

<title>ErudianArt v0.010205 || PHP test</title>

</head>

<body>



<?php



$doc = domxml_open_file("test.xml");

$node = $doc->create_element("para");

$node->set_attribute("align", "left");

$newnode = $doc->append_child($node);





?>



</body>

</html>



Ive even tried this with... millions of other combinations and such and I can not get my XML file to change!! arg.. can anybody help me, I am just looking for a way to make stuff in PHP add to my XML files.

the xml file is test.xml in the same directory.

Thanks!

Well you're not doing anything with your new document. This just stores the xml in memory you need to dump the file for any changes to stick.
