Jerred121 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I have a massive form (300+ fields) submitting post data that I wish to write to an xml. The hierarchy will vary from node to node ie: <E02> <E02_02>value</E02_02> <E02_03>value</E02_03> <E02_04_0> <E02_04>value</E02_04> <E02_05>value</E02_05> </E02_04_0> </E02> I'm not sure how necessary that example was, but anyways... The nodes and the data in them will be different all of the time, I plan to deal with the structural differences with a really big switch/case. So my questions are: 1) Whats is the advantage of using something like simplexml to write the xml, as apposed to just writing it out in a string, and saving it as a .xml file? 2) If I shouldn't write it out as a string, what method would you guys suggest, keep in mind there will be a lot of values to store, in many different parent elements (xml->emdata->header->record->E02->E02_04_0->E02-02) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
