[RESOLVED] How do I add children to XML using DOMDocument and XPath?

[Dragoon_42]

$domdoc=new DOMDocument();
	$domdoc->formatOutput=TRUE;

$empty_cart_xml=
			'<Order>
				<Cart>
					<Items>
						<Item>1</Item>
						<Item>2</Item>
						<Item>3</Item>
					</Items>
				</Cart>
			</Order>';

$domdoc->loadXML($empty_cart_xml);
print $domdoc->saveXML()."<hr/>"; //works up to this point

$xpath=new DOMXPath($domdoc);

$items=$xpath->query('/Order/Cart/Items');
foreach($itemses AS $items)
{
	$items->appendChild($domdoc->createElement('Item','4'));
}

print $domdoc->saveXML();

All I want to do is to add a new Item to Items. What am I doing wrong?

[mrbaseball34]

Was this just a typo? $itemses

  $items=$xpath->query('/Order/Cart/Items');
  foreach($itemses AS $items)

Also, use the [php] tag instead of [code]

Yeah, my bad:

$domdoc=new DOMDocument();
	$domdoc->formatOutput=TRUE;
	//print $domdoc->saveXML();

$empty_cart_xml=
			'<Order xmlns="http://payments.amazon.com/checkout/2009-05-15/">
				<Cart>
					<Items>
						<Item>1</Item>
						<Item>2</Item>
						<Item>3</Item>
					</Items>
				</Cart>
				<OrderCalculationCallbacks>
					<CalculateTaxRates>true</CalculateTaxRates>
					<CalculatePromotions>true</CalculatePromotions>
					<CalculateShippingRates>true</CalculateShippingRates>
					<OrderCallbackEndpoint>
						https://my.endpoint.com/receive.php
					</OrderCallbackEndpoint>
					<ProcessOrderOnCallbackFailure>true</ProcessOrderOnCallbackFailure>
				</OrderCalculationCallbacks>
			</Order>';
//print $empty_cart_xml;
$domdoc->loadXML($empty_cart_xml);
print $domdoc->saveXML()."<hr/>";

$xpath=new DOMXPath($domdoc);

$items=$xpath->query('/Order/Cart/Items');
foreach($items AS $item)
{
	$item->appendChild($domdoc->createElement('Item','4'));
}

print $domdoc->saveXML();

Yay!!! Below is the answer.

$domdoc=new DOMDocument();
	$domdoc->formatOutput=TRUE;
	//print $domdoc->saveXML();

$empty_cart_xml=
			'<Order xmlns="http://payments.amazon.com/checkout/2009-05-15/">
				<Cart>
					<Items>
						<Item>1</Item>
						<Item>2</Item>
						<Item>3</Item>
					</Items>
				</Cart>
				<OrderCalculationCallbacks>
					<CalculateTaxRates>true</CalculateTaxRates>
					<CalculatePromotions>true</CalculatePromotions>
					<CalculateShippingRates>true</CalculateShippingRates>
					<OrderCallbackEndpoint>
						https://my.endpoint.com/receive.php
					</OrderCallbackEndpoint>
					<ProcessOrderOnCallbackFailure>true</ProcessOrderOnCallbackFailure>
				</OrderCalculationCallbacks>
			</Order>';
//print $empty_cart_xml;
$domdoc->loadXML($empty_cart_xml);
print $domdoc->saveXML()."<hr/>";

$item=$domdoc->createElement('Item','4');
$domdoc->getElementsByTagName('Items')->item(0)->appendChild($item);


print $domdoc->saveXML();

Adding another descendant if anyone cares:

$domdoc=new DOMDocument();
	$domdoc->formatOutput=TRUE;
	//print $domdoc->saveXML();

$empty_cart_xml=
			'<Order xmlns="http://payments.amazon.com/checkout/2009-05-15/">
				<Cart>
					<Items>
						<Item>1</Item>
						<Item>2</Item>
						<Item>3</Item>
					</Items>
				</Cart>
				<OrderCalculationCallbacks>
					<CalculateTaxRates>true</CalculateTaxRates>
					<CalculatePromotions>true</CalculatePromotions>
					<CalculateShippingRates>true</CalculateShippingRates>
					<OrderCallbackEndpoint>
						https://my.endpoint.com/receive.php
					</OrderCallbackEndpoint>
					<ProcessOrderOnCallbackFailure>true</ProcessOrderOnCallbackFailure>
				</OrderCalculationCallbacks>
			</Order>';
//print $empty_cart_xml;
$domdoc->loadXML($empty_cart_xml);
print $domdoc->saveXML()."<hr/>";

/*$xpath=new DOMXPath($domdoc);

$items=$xpath->query('/Order/Cart/Items[1]');
foreach($items AS $item)
{
	$item->appendChild($domdoc->createElement('Item','4'));
}*/
$item=$domdoc->createElement('Item');
$domdoc->getElementsByTagName('Items')->item(0)->appendChild($item);

$price=$domdoc->createElement('Price','3.14');
$item->appendChild($price);  //price is a descendant of this item
$domdoc->formatOutput=TRUE;

print $domdoc->saveXML();
