and thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I'm trying to get the current URL of the page and save it in the XML form. If I use the echo in the code, it shows the URL but the form doesn't replace the url in the XML.. what am I missing?
The code I'm using:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<?php
$xml = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$xml->formatOutput = true;
$xml->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$xml->load('data.xml');
//Get item Element
$element = $xml->getElementsByTagName('person')->item(0);
//Load child elements
$name = $element->getElementsByTagName('name')->item(0);
$comment = $element->getElementsByTagName('comment')->item(0);
$currentUrl = $element->getElementsByTagName('currentUrl')->item(0);
//Replace old elements with new
$element->replaceChild($name, $name);
$element->replaceChild($comment, $comment);
$element->replaceChild($currentUrl, $currentUrl);
?>
<?php
$protocol = strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL']),'https')
=== FALSE ? 'http' : 'https';
$host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$script = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
$params = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$currentUrl = $protocol . '://' . $host . $script . '?' . $params;
echo $currentUrl;
?>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$name->nodeValue = $_POST['namanya'];
$comment->nodeValue = $_POST['commentnya'];
$currentUrl->nodeValue = $_POST['currentUrlya'];
htmlentities($xml->save('data.xml'));
}
?>
<form method="POST" action=''>
name <input type="text-name" value="<?php echo $name->nodeValue ?>" name="namanya" />
comment <input type="text-comment" value="<?php echo $comment->nodeValue ?>" name="commentnya"/>
<input type="hidden" name="currentUrlya" value="<?php echo $currentUrl->nodeValue ?>">
<input name="submit" type="submit" />
</form>and for the XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<inventors>
<person>
<name>david</name>
<comment> yes, so powwow</comment>
<currentUrl>http://google.com</currentUrl>
</person>
</inventors>Based on Joe's comments I changed it to:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<?php
$xml = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$xml->formatOutput = true;
$xml->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$xml->load('data.xml');
$protocol = strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL']),'https')
=== FALSE ? 'http' : 'https';
$host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$script = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
$params = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$currentUrl = $protocol . '://' . $host . $script . '?' . $params;
//Get item Element
$element = $xml->getElementsByTagName('person')->item(0);
//Load child elements
$name = $element->getElementsByTagName('name')->item(0);
$comment = $element->getElementsByTagName('comment')->item(0);
$currentUrl2 = $element->getElementsByTagName('currentUrl')->item(0);
//Replace old elements with new
$element->replaceChild($name, $name);
$element->replaceChild($comment, $comment);
$element->replaceChild($currentUrl2, $currentUrl2);
?>
<?php
?>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$name->nodeValue = $_POST['namanya'];
$comment->nodeValue = $_POST['commentnya'];
$currentUrl2->nodeValue = $_POST['currentUrlya'];
htmlentities($xml->save('data.xml'));
}
?>
<form method="POST" action=''>
name <input type="text-name" value="<?php echo $name->nodeValue ?>" name="namanya" />
comment <input type="text-comment" value="<?php echo $comment->nodeValue ?>" name="commentnya"/>
<input type="hidden" name="currentUrlya" value="<?php echo $currentUrl->nodeValue ?>">
<input name="submit" type="submit" />
</form>it still doesn't save the URL, though. any ideas on how to fix this?

Your code emits a Notice: Trying to get property 'nodeValue' of non-object in …
The reason is, that you are overriding the $currentUrl DOM node variable with a string value $currentUrl = $protocol . '://' . $host . …. Therefore, setting the new DOM node value later with $currentUrl->nodeValue = … will fail.
Always use different names for different things. And keep watching your error log – it should generally stay empty.
