Posting Form values to an XML file

[kerbdog]

Hi

 

I am trying to Post form fields into an XML file and it doesn't seem to be working for me, I know I got most of the code right but just can't place a finger on why its not posting into the allocated folder and creating the xml file.

 

<?php
session_start ();

$date = date('h:i a , D d M Y');

	$errors = array ();

  if (isset ($_POST['submit']))
  {
  	$ord_date = $_POST['odate'];
  	$ord_first = $_POST['first'];
  	$ord_sur = $_POST['surname'];
  	$ord_address = $_POST['paddress'];
  	$ord_country = $_POST['country'];
  	$ord_city = $_POST['pcity'];
  	$ord_state = $_POST['state'];
  	$ord_zip = $_POST['zip'];
  	$ord_total = $_POST['total'];
  	$ord_card = $_POST['cards'];
  	$visa = $_POST['visa'];
  	$mcard = $_POST['master'];
  	$ord_cardno = $_POST['cardno'];
  	$ord_exp = $_POST['expiry'];
  	  	
  }
if($ord_first == ''){
	$errors[] = 'First Name is blank';
}
if($ord_sur == ''){
	$errors[] = 'Surname Name is blank';
}
if($ord_addres <= ''){
	$errors[] = 'Address is blank';
}
if($ord_country == ''){
	$errors[] = 'Country is blank';
}
if($ord_city == ''){
	$errors[] = 'City is blank';
}
if($ord_state == ''){
	$errors[] = 'State is blank';
}
if($ord_zip == ''){
	$errors[] = 'Zip is blank';
}
if($cardno == ''){
	$errors[] = 'Enter Card Number';
}
if($ord_exp == ''){
	$errors[] = 'Card Must have Expiry Date';
}

function validateCC($cardno, $card) {

//Make sure there are only digits
$cardno = ereg_replace("[-[:space:]]","",$card);

// Check each credit card type
switch ($card) {
case "visa":
$cardCheck = ereg("^4[0-9]{12}$¦^4[0-9]{15}$",$cardno);
break;

case "mcard":
$cardCheck = ereg("^5[1-5][0-9]{14}$", $cardno);
break;

}

//Now, check against the Luhn forumula

$cardNumber = strlen($cardno);
$total = 0;

for($i = 0; $i < strlen($cardNumber); $i++)
{
$currentNum = substr($cardNumber, $i, 1);
if(floor($currentNum / 2)!= $currentNum / 2)
{
$currentNum *= 2;
}
if(strlen($currentNum) == 2)
{
$firstNum = substr($currentNum, 0, 1);
$secondNum = substr($currentNum, 1, 1);
$currentNum = $firstNum + $secondNum;
}
$numSum += $currentNum;
}

// If the total has no remainder, it's OK

$passCheck = ($numSum % 10 == 0? true : false);

/*If both $validateCC and $passCheck are true, then we return true, indicating that the card number is valid. If not, we return false, indicating that either the card number was in an incorrect format, or it failed the Mod 10 check:*/

if($validateCC && $passCheck)
{
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

if(count($errors) == 0){
  $xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<order></order>');
	$xml->addChild('date', $ord_datet);

$first is undefined.  So you don't actually have a filename for you XML file.
