how to update content in xml file?

screative

Basically I want update the content in "parentnav":

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PAGE>
<type>1</type>
<parentnav>0</parentnav>
<body><![CDATA[<p>sometext</p>]]></body>
</PAGE>

To be this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PAGE>
<type>1</type>
<parentnav>1</parentnav>
<body><![CDATA[<p>sometext</p>]]></body>
</PAGE>

I have been using "simplexml_load_file" on my site to pull in my xml files.. but now I need to update an xml file with a $value. How do you do that.. after much searching I still don't understand.

Well, if it really is the <parentnav> element you want to change ... it has one (text) node, and if you want to replace it with different text the code is

$xml->parentnav[0] = $value;
