I know how to add child nodes with SimpleXml and PHP but i have a problem with the orders of those child elements. Lets say i have this xml structure

album gallery1 gallery2 gallery2 . . . galleryN /album

This is how it is right now when I add childs with the basic code 

$galleryElement = $sxe->addChild("gallery");

I want the order of child elements in this case to be on the opposite the last gallery that i will add to be first child of Album.

example:

album gallery3 gallery2 gallery1

/album

Any one knows some trick here

  • are you looking for reorder function or a "remove all and reAdd them in the correct order" is enought? – yoda Nov 17 '10 at 22:17
  • i dont want to remove and reAdd, i just need some function that when i will add new gallery this gallery will be the first child (on top of other galleryis) – AXheladini Nov 17 '10 at 22:19
  • Looks like you want to prepend rather than append? If so, check this out: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2092012/simplexml-how-to-prepend-a-child-in-a-node – Paul Kehrer Nov 17 '10 at 22:20
  • @Paul Kehre - Thats what i am looking for, but i can not configue because i use another class for adding CData child. Can you help me to configure out how to use public function prependChild($name, $value) inside my class ? – AXheladini Nov 17 '10 at 22:33
  • @Paul Kehre - OK i configure it, is there a chance your answer to be chosen as winner ? – AXheladini Nov 17 '10 at 22:45
  • I'll add an answer if you want to choose it. Glad you got it working! – Paul Kehrer Nov 17 '10 at 23:05

It looks like you want to prepend to your container. Unfortunately simplexml doesn't have this function natively, but this previous answer will assist you in getting it working
