Answer 2

Hi, Load your xml from string(doc) or a file(doc) using SimpleXML.

$xml = simplexml_load_file('file.xml');
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($string);

Then use addChild method of SimpleXML to insert node at particular point http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.addChild.php.

Edited: You can loop through nodes using SimpleXML children() method http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.children.php

foreach ($xml->children() as $children) {
}
