In all fairness Tedd, your example is a bit of a joke. Send some JSON back and forth, do some database queries, and use a webservice all at the same time. Your AJAX calls won't be so simple then. I think the point of Andrea's project is to make debugging easier. Just like firebug and Charles do in their own respect. Is it something you can do without? Yes, especially if you have a great development environment set up. Is is something that could make inspecting what is getting thrown around in your AJAX calls and the PHP errors that occur easier? Yes, especially when sending JSON or remote object calls. Charles is a great tool when doing Flash and Flex remoting, and AJAX. I have the impression that Andrea's tool is perhaps doing something similar, but taking it a step further. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I think it is difficult to write off as useless.

You'll need to save your xml to the file once you are done manipulating it.
Use $xml-asXML('filename'); Check here:

Telling someone RTFM is just rude and mean. Manipulating dates and times can be confusing for beginners and experienced people alike. I would suggest that when a question asked here causes you to respond with RTFM, don't respond at all. Save yourself the time and trouble and save the person asking the question the grief of being insulted. And Tedd your condescending response caused me to lose respect for you. I'm sure the OP would have been more than thankful to receive the same response without the RTFM. I'll read any response to this, but I won't have anything more to say.

Re: [PHP] Some help with SimpleXML :`(
You almost had it...
Since clothes is the root element you can think of your initial $xml as
clothes. So, you add a child to it. That error message is kinda cryptic
though.
?php
$xml = EOD
?xml version=1.0 encoding=iso-8859-1?
clothes
item
nameRed Gloves/name
desca pair of red gloves/desc
sizeadult/size
price12.99/price
/item
item
nameSnow Boots/name
descsome snow boots/desc
sizechild/size
price23.99/price
/item
/clothes
EOD;
$sxml = simplexml_load_string($xml);
$item = $sxml-addChild('item');
$item-addChild('name', 'Blue Gloves');
echo $sxml-asXML();
exit;

Re: [PHP] Re: Best way to test for form submission?
I've heard stories like this before, but never encountered it myself.
I forgot to mention that it is a good idea to give your submit buttons a
value attribute. Regardless of how the form is submitted, you should then
have a value for ['submit'].
Reminding the user that they must do anything other than the simplest things
is usually not a good approach. There will inevitably be users who do not
see/follow your reminder and use the enter button. Give the submit button a
value.

I've encountered issue with checking $_POST['submit']
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {}
If the form consists of checkbox/radio and text field, some of my forms can
be submitted by just press [ENTER] at the end of one of the text field. In
this case, the $_POST['submit'] is set even the submit button was not
clicked.
However, in some of my forms, $_POST['submit'] will not be set if I submit
the form by pressing [ENTER] in one of the text field.
So, if the later case happen, I need to remind the user to explicitly click
the [Submit] button.
I don't know why or in what condition that pressing [ENTER] will not submit
the whole form include the $_POST['submit'].

I'm sure that this is not the best/recommended way to do this but I'm

The best way I've found is to do something like this:
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{}
Note that in-place of submit you can put the name of any form element. I
chose submit here, because every form should have a submit button. Note
also that this will only work if you have given your submit button a
name:
input type=submit name=submit value=Submit/

Re: [PHP] Re: Best way to test for form submission?
If you want to check that a *form* was submiited, you need to at minimum check that one of the form elements exist in the post data, assuming the method is post. The submit button is a good one to use. Just checking that there *is* POST data isn't a great idea. Anyone can post anything. Checking for a key named 'submit' in the POST array is no more difficult than any other method. That being said anyone could POST a key value pair with the key being 'submit'. So validate everything!
