PHP and XML

[Anon]

I have a serious problem that I need to solve. I am writing a budgeted PHP application that uses XML to display, edit and save documents. Unfortunately, everywhere I've looked so far says that I need to use ASP. Devastation!

Here is my problem: I cannot adequately save changes to the XML document. I am currently using the XML DOM and Microsoft's (@!$#^%*&) MSXML ActiveX object to make the changes, which claims to only 'save' using ASP.

So, I'm looking for the best answer to simply and efficiently display,edit and save XML documents using PHP, not ASP! I am prepared to start over from scratch if needs be. I want to use PHP since the rest of my application is already written in PHP.

Perhaps someone would like to point me to how to write a little API for XML DOM using PHP? How would I go about using the 'dot' operator to call functions like document.getElementsByTagName('parent').item(1).id.value ???
