I'd love to be writing a reply in here saying I've solved this but not joy. No one out there in the forum has any suggestins then?I've looked into just opening the file as a string. I'm familiar with string manipulation etc and could parse this small file myself into a form and do the same back and save the file. However, each php file function I tried
$html = implode('', file("test.xml"));
OR
echo file_get_contents("test.xml"); (this will work if I take out the xml tags and just have plain text in the file)
would not load the file as it has xml code so I'm back to looking at this meth
