Help with PHP/XML

[Anon]

Hey there,

I am trying to develop a php file to log certain data into an xml file. The coding seems to work however the second time around the data is not saved on the xml file.

Heres the code :

$xml_string =

"<errorlog>
<report>
<host>$host</host>
<ipaddress>$ip</ipaddress>
<errmsg>$subject</errmsg>
<date>$dt</date>
</report>
</errorlog>
";

and heres the error msg :

Only one top level element is allowed in an XML document. Error processing resource 'file://wwwroot/errorlog.xml'. Line 9, Position 2

<errorlog>
-^

The error i guess is because the second time around the script attempts to create the top level <errorlog> again. Is there a way to check for its presence or to avoid it from doing that ?!

Appreciate your help !

What do you mean by "second time around"?

If this is in a loop, just move the <errorlog></errorlog> tags outside of it.

If this is happening the second time you call the script, you will have to redesign what you are doing (writing several xml documents into the same file).
