Help with XML line breaks

[tuga74]

Hi there this is my first post, and YES i'm a complete newbie to php....

I'm using this code to create a XML Document

//add album
if ($_POST['btnAdd']=="Add"){ 
    $xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
    $xmlDoc->load("../flash/galeria/gallery.xml");
    $albums = $xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName("albums")->item(0); 
    $new_album = $xmlDoc->createElement("album");
    $albums->appendChild($new_album);
    $xmlDoc->save("../flash/galeria/gallery.xml"); 
    redirect();
}

//uploads the image, moves to the image directory, resample and create the thumbnail
if ($_POST["btnUpload"]=="Upload"){
    session_start();      

    $target_dir = "../flash/galeria/images/big/";  //default directory for uploading images
    $file_name = basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
    $target_path = $target_dir . $file_name; //adding the file name
    if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    $msg= "The file ". $file_name." has been uploaded";
    $xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
    $xmlDoc->load("../flash/galeria/gallery.xml");
    $albums = $xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName("album");
    $albums_count = $albums->length;
    for ($i=0; $i < $albums_count; $i++){
        $album = $albums->item($i)->getAttribute("title");
        if ($album == $_POST['listAlbum']){
             $new_img =  $xmlDoc->createElement("image");
            $new_img->setAttribute("title",""); 
            $new_img->setAttribute("date",""); 
            $new_img->setAttribute("thumbnail",$file_name);  

            $new_img->setAttribute("image",$file_name);
            $new_img->setAttribute("link","");
            $new_img->nodeValue = "";  

            $album_node = $albums->item($i)->appendChild($new_img);
        }
    }
    $xmlDoc->save("../flash/galeria/gallery.xml");
    } else{
   $msg= "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";}}

the problem is when adding nodes, it goes only on the same line, the result is this

<albums>
<album title="malas" description="Catálogo de malas"><image title="" date="" thumbnail="PIC_0310.JPG" image="PIC_0310.JPG" link=""></image></album></albums>

and i would like to be this, as it would be more readable

<albums>
<album title="malas" description="Catálogo de malas">
<image title="" date="" thumbnail="PIC_0310.JPG" image="PIC_0310.JPG" link=""></image>
</album>
</albums>

Can someone plz help this newbie?

Thanks

Not sure, but you might want to try the saveXML() method instead of save().

But shouldn't i use the save() if i want to save to a file? I think the saveXML doesn't write to the file.

It returns a string, so you could just write that string to a file, e.g.:

file_put_contents("../flash/galeria/gallery.xml", $xmlDoc->saveXML());

If using PHP4, you would need to use fopen(), fputs(), fclose() instead of file_put_contents(). In any case, I'm not sure the formatting will be any different, but I thought it might be worth a try.
