Remember to try the search function at the top of the Stackoverflow site. There are several questions already submitted and answered that are on this topic.

Check this previous question on Read and write an XML file with PHP

UPDATE: Here is a snippet from the accepted answer in the referenced question:

$pos = strpos($xml, "</videos>");

if ($pos === false) {
    $xml = substr($xml,0,$pos)."\t<video url=\"$url\" desc=\"$desc\" />".substr($xml,$pos);
}
