How to change XML attribute value with PHP

[darksteel21]

I have an xml file :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<profile id="4" sap="7778">
   <name="Mark"></name>
   <name="Mark"></name>
   <name="Mark"></name>
</profile>

I wan to modify the "id" attribute of the profile tag.
How is it possible to php?

Using DOM you can remove and create attributes

DOMElement::removeAttribute ( string $name ) 
DOMElement::setAttribute ( string $name , string $value )

But DOM frightens a lot of fellow programmers. Managing the parent-child node hierarchy is tricky.
I use a wrapper class with additional functions to move current node up and down levels.
Then the current node becomes the class object
PHP has a set of functions called simpleXML which seems to be the favourite, but only seems to have

addAttribute ( string $name , string $value [, string $namespace ] )

but hey, you should see some of the admonishments the experts get :)
