I'll be flamed for not responding with *exactly* what you want, but anyway...

I too had much difficulty understanding PHP XML code (
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php ), esp the explanation in the big red
"Professional PHP" book -- confusing!

There are a number of cool functions people have written out there that will
read in an XML file to an associative array. Then you can modify the array as
you like-- edit/delete/add elements. When you're ready, there are other
functions that will write that associate array back to a flat file in XML
format. Pretty cool, eh? It's still frustrating, but not nearly as much as using
the PHP XML functions.

Here's a link: http://codewalkers.com/seecode/185.html
