I'm sorry if I am not very clear. English is not my first language. I'll try again to explain. In my xml i want to replace the 7.. value. The new value comes from file2. Then I will copy the new Update.xml file to a different folder (let's say /home/XML). For the next line in file2, I will want to again modify UpdateOffer1.xml (this is what i meant by overwritten...) same as before (except that instead of 765101293, the value to be replaced will be 765003448). After the modification, I will again copy Update.xml to the folder. This needs to be done for all line in file2.

simplexml_load_string - Interprets a string of XML into an object

SYNOPSIS
SimpleXMLElement simplexml_load_string (string $data, [string $class_name = "SimpleXMLElement"], [int $options], [string $ns = ""], [bool $is_prefix = false]) DESCRIPTION
Takes a well-formed XML string and returns it as an object. PARAMETERS
o $data - A well-formed XML string o $class_name - You may use this optional parameter so that simplexml_load_string(3) will return an object of the specified class. That class should extend the SimpleXMLElement class. o $options - Since PHP 5.1.0 and Libxml 2.6.0, you may also use the $options parameter to specify additional Libxml parameters. o $ns - Namespace prefix or URI. o $is_prefix - TRUE if $ns is a prefix, FALSE if it's a URI; defaults to FALSE. RETURN VALUES
Returns an object of class SimpleXMLElement with properties containing the data held within the xml document, or FALSE on failure. Warning This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to FALSE. Please read the section on Booleans for more information. Use the === operator for testing the return value of this function. ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS Produces an E_WARNING error message for each error found in the XML data. Tip Use libxml_use_internal_errors(3) to suppress all XML errors, and libxml_get_errors(3) to iterate over them afterwards. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Interpret an XML string <?php $string = <<<XML <?xml version='1.0'?> <document> <title>Forty What?</title> <from>Joe</from> <to>Jane</to> <body> I know that's the answer -- but what's the question? </body> </document> XML; $xml = simplexml_load_string($string); print_r($xml); ?> The above example will output: SimpleXMLElement Object ( [title] => Forty What? [from] => Joe [to] => Jane [body] => I know that's the answer -- but what's the question? ) At this point, you can go about using $xml->body and such. SEE ALSO
