It looks to me that you are creating a new DOM object for the file
existing condition, but not loading the actual file into the object with
$doc->load() or similar. Consequently you are creating a new file with
single entry each time.
Also, I wonder why your new DOMDocument()s have different parameters?
Wouldn't it be wise to make them the same to avoid possible problems?
