php SimpleXMLElement set text

how to set text for a Simp开发者_开发问答leXMLElement in php?

Let's say $node is an SimpleXMLElement. This code:

$node->{0} = "some string"

will result in an extra childNode in PHP 7, instead of setting the text content for $node. Use:

$node[0] = "some string"

instead.

Did you look at the basic documentation examples?

From there:

include 'example.php';
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);

$xml->movie[0]->characters->character[0]->name = 'Miss Coder';

echo $xml->asXML();

$xml = SimpleXMLElement('<a><b><c></c></b></a>');
$foundNodes = $xml->xpath('//c');
$foundNode = $foundNodes[0];
$foundNode->{0} = "This text will be put inside of c tag.";

$xml->asXML(); 
// will output <a><b><c>This text will be put inside of c tag.</c></b></a>
