writing to XML using active-link.org classes

[blood_in_binary]

Hi all, im having trouble trying to write variables from a form into a XML document using the php classes from active-link.org, i followed there tutorial but i can't get it working, any suggestions?

<?php
require_once("classes/include.php");
import("org.active-link.xml.XML");
import("org.active-link.xml.XMLDocument");
import("org.active-link.xml.XMLBranch");
import("org.active-link.xml.Tree");
import("org.active-link.xml.Branch");



$name_flash = $HTTP_POST_VARS["name"] ;
$ingrediants_flash = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ingrediants"] ;

$myXMLDoc = new XMLDocument("recipes.xml,a+");

$myXML = new XML("Recipe_database");


$the_recipe = new XMLBranch("recipe"); 
$the_name = new XMLBranch("recipe/name");
$the_ingrediants = new XMLBranch("recipe/ingrediants");  


$the_name->setTagContent("$name_flash","Recipe_database/recipe/name");
$the_ingrediants->setTagContent("$ingrediants_flash","Recipe_database/recipe/ingrediants");


$recipe_database = $myXML->getBranches ()


// this is where the problem is i believe, up until now the code executes

$recipe_database[0]->addXMLBranch($the_recipe); 
$recipe_database[0]->addXMLBranch($the_name);
$recipe_database[0]->addXMLBranch($the_ingrediants);



$myXMLDoc->save("recipes.xml")




?>

I get a parse error on the addXMLbranch line, did you try it and it worked ?

<?php
require_once("classes/include.php");
import("org.active-link.xml.XML");
import("org.active-link.xml.XMLDocument");
import("org.active-link.xml.XMLBranch");
import("org.active-link.xml.Tree");
import("org.active-link.xml.Branch");

$name_flash = $HTTP_POST_VARS["name"] ;
$ingrediants_flash = $HTTP_POST_VARS["ingrediants"] ;

$myXMLDoc = new XMLDocument("recipes.xml", "a+");

$myXML = new XML("Recipe_database");

$the_recipe = new XMLBranch("recipe"); 
$the_name = new XMLBranch("recipe/name");
$the_ingrediants = new XMLBranch("recipe/ingrediants");  

$the_name->setTagContent($name_flash,"Recipe_database/recipe/name");
$the_ingrediants->setTagContent($ingrediants_flash,"Recipe_database/recipe/ingrediants");

$recipe_database = $myXML->getBranches();

$recipe_database[0]->addXMLBranch($the_recipe); 
$recipe_database[0]->addXMLBranch($the_name);
$recipe_database[0]->addXMLBranch($the_ingrediants);

$myXMLDoc->save("recipes.xml");
?>

1. The active-link.com docs state:

   XMLDocument   ( optional string filename, optional string fileOpenMode )

   so you should actually use:

   $myXMLDoc = new XMLDocument("recipes.xml", "a+");

2. You're missing the terminating semi-colon on a number of lines.

couldn't get it to work still, so i took a different approach to it. thanks for your help

$recipe_database = $myXML->getBranches ()

You're missing a semicolon.
