Problems with DOM XML

[Michael]

Hey guys
Im trying to build a plugin for a php script. Its going fine and
dandy.

Data is store in an XML file. Which has the following structure:

<raiders>
<raider>
<name>Anarchi e</name>
<ready>?</ready>
</raider>
</raiders>

What i need to do is be able to find a "raider" and change the ready
node to something else.

For this i wrote this code snippet:
-

$doc = new DomDocument();
$doc->load($DataDir. "/raid.bot/raid.xml");

$raiders = $doc->getElementsByT agName("raider" );
foreach ($raiders as $raider)
{
$names = $raider->getElementsByT agName("name");
$name = $names->item(0)->nodeValue;
if($name = $sender)
{
$statuses = $raider->getElementsByT agName("ready") ;
$ready = $statuses->item(0)->setContent("ye s");
}
}
$doc->save($DataDir. "/raid.bot/raid.xml");
send_reply("Upd ated status to ready");

-
However it complains about the "set content" method:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method DOMElement::set Content() in
F:\Games\
guildBot\plugin s\tell\raid.bot \index.php on line 89

I have tried set_content() aswell.

Any ideas what im doing wrong here? Is set_content really the only way
to update a node in DOM xml?

Thoughts, ideas and suggestions are welcome.

- Mike

Maybe this comment on the PHP site can help you:

I figured it was becouse i was using deprecated features. That
explained a lot :).

Trying to get this to work now:
send_reply("sta rting DOM");
$doc = new DomDocument();
$doc->load($DataDir. "/raid.bot/raid.xml");

$raiders = $doc->getElementsByT agName("raider" );
foreach ($raiders as $raider)
{
$names = $raider->getElementsByT agName("name");
$name = $names->item(0)->nodeValue;
if($name = $sender)
{
$newready = $doc->createElement( "ready");
$newreadytext = $doc->createTextNode ("yes");
$newready->appendChild($r eadytext);
$ready = $raider->getElementsByT agName("ready")->item(0);
$raider->replaceChild($ newready,$ready );
$doc->save($DataDir. "/raid.bot/raid.xml");
send_reply("Upd ated status to ready");
}
}

No errors and it gets as far as to get into the loop. Nothing happens
after that though.

i solved it.

$parent = new DomDocument;
$parent_node = $parent ->createElement( 'raider');
$parent_node->appendChild($p arent->createElement( 'name', $sender));
$parent_node->appendChild($p arent->createElement( 'ready', 1));
$parent->appendChild($p arent_node);

$dom = new DomDocument;
$dom->load($DataDir. "/raid.bot/raid.xml");

$xpath = new DOMXpath($dom);
$nodelist = $xpath->query('/raiders/raider');
$i = 0;
foreach($nodeli st as $nodes)
{
$names = $nodes->getElementsByT agName("name");
$name = $names->item(0)->nodeValue;
$i++;
if($name == $sender)
{
break;
}
}
$oldnode = $nodelist->item($i-1); //Dirty hack
$newnode = $dom->importNode($pa rent->documentElemen t, true);
$oldnode->parentNode->replaceChild($ newnode, $oldnode);
$dom->save($DataDir. "/raid.bot/raid.xml");
