hi,

assuming that Your xml file looks like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<items>
	<author> data goes here </author>
</items>

Code (markup):

then You can use SimpleXML php extension to do what You want as below:

$xmlFile = 'data.xml';
$sxe = simplexml_load_file($xmlFile);
$sxe->author[0] = 'new data';
file_put_contents($xmlFile, $sxe->asXML());

Code (markup):

take a look here for more details:
