How can I get through another child of XML file than firstChild in PHP? I have a code like this:
$root = $xmldoc->firstChild;
Can I simply get into second child or another?
A possible solution to your problem could be something like this. First your XML structure. You asked how to add an item node to the data node.
$xml = <<< XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xmldata>
<data>
<item>item 1</item>
<item>item 2</item>
</data>
</xmldata>
XML;
In PHP one possible solution is the DomDocument object.
$doc = new \DomDocument();
$doc->loadXml($xml);
// fetch data node
$dataNode = $doc->getElementsByTagName('data')->item(0);
// create new item node
$newItemNode = $doc->createElement('item', 'item 3');
// append new item node to data node
$dataNode->appendChild($newItemNode);
// save xml node
$doc->saveXML();
This code example is not tested. Have fun. ;)
