Adding Attributes to all XML nodes

Howdy,

I have an PHP page that edits XML files. I want ADD a new *id* attribute to all nodes on the page that do not have it all ready. Then i want to delete all of the values of *id* and set them as an incremental 1-x values down the page.

This is the current code i am using to edit specific nodes.

Code: Select all

 
<?php
$content = $_POST['content'];
$id = $_POST['id'];
$node = $_POST['node'];
$explode = explode("_",$node);
 
$dom=new DOMDocument();
$dom->load('sample.xml');
$dom->formatOutput = true;
//echo $dom->saveXML(); // show before file
$allnodes = $dom->getElementsByTagName($explode[0]);
foreach ($allnodes as $nodes) {
    if ($nodes->nodeName==$explode[0] and $nodes->getAttribute('id')==$id) { //
        $nodes->setAttribute($explode[1],$content);
    }
}
$dom->save('sample.xml');
?>
 
This is the XML file im working with. NOTE the missing *id* node of the 2nd *child01* node.

Code: Select all

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<parent option01="other info" option02="other info" id="1">
    <child01 option01="child01 option01" option02="child01 option02" id="2">
        <child02 option01="child02 option01" option02="child02 option02" id="3">

With the code below, you can apply incramenting IDs to all nodes of a particular lineage, but I'm not sure about all nodes period...

Code: Select all

$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml->load('some_file_name.xml');
$xml->formatOutput = true;
$root = $xml->documentElement;
$elements = $root->getElementsByTagName('some_element');
$id = 1;
foreach ($elements as $element){
	$new_id = $xml->createAttribute('id');
	$new_id_content = $xml->createTextNode($id);
	$new_id->appendChild($new_id_content);
	$element->appendChild($new_id);
	$id++;
}
$xml->save('some_file_name.xml');
