    Howdy,

    I have an PHP page that edits XML files. I want ADD a new *id* attribute to all nodes on the page that do not have it all ready. Then i want to delete all of the values of *id* and set them as an incremental 1-x values down the page.

    This is the current code i am using to edit specific nodes.
    
    <?php
    $content = $_POST['content'];
    $id = $_POST['id'];
    $node = $_POST['node'];
    $explode = explode("_",$node);
    
    $dom=new DOMDocument();
    $dom->load('sample.xml');
    $dom->formatOutput = true;
    //echo $dom->saveXML(); // show before file
    $allnodes = $dom->getElementsByTagName($explode[0]);
    foreach ($allnodes as $nodes) {
    	if ($nodes->nodeName==$explode[0] and $nodes->getAttribute('id')==$id) { //
    		$nodes->setAttribute($explode[1],$content);
    	}
    }
    $dom->save('sample.xml');
    ?>
    
    Code (markup):
    This is the XML file im working with. NOTE the missing *id* node of the 2nd *child01* node.
    
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
