Since I can't see the source for append_child(), I'll assume you're using
the $key as the index??

If so, try changing it to just a numeric index, ie, 0, 1, 2, etc.

Subject: [PHP] Object assignment


I'm having trouble creating objects with DOMXML. As I loop through a level
of nodes, I'm creating a new element based on the array's key name. The XML
might look like this:

<rootElement>
<record id="1">Value 1</record>
<record id="2">Value 2</record>
</rootElement>

So I'd be doing this with DOMXML in a loop:

$thisChild = $doc->create_element($key);
$thisChild = $ancestor->append_child($thisChild);

Where $key is 'record' in this example, and $ancestor is 'rootElement',
which is carried along in the function.

The problem that when I reach the second element by the same name, and in
the same node level, I'm overwriting the $thisChild object that I just
created. How can I dynamically name these objects so that I can have an
indeterminate number of elements by the same name, in the same level?
