Issue with php and xml in Linux Instance
I currently have a Linux Instance running CentOS and I am trying to create a php form that takes input and updates an xml file with what is submitted. It works on my local network exactly how I want it to but when I run it from the server it does not update the xml file. The server is running php 5.3 and it php works. Is there something different I need to do?
The php file is below:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$ID = $_POST['ID'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$xml = simplexml_load_file("test.xml");
$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xml->asXML());
$entry = $sxe->addChild("item");
$entry->addChild("name", $name);
$entry->addChild("email", $email);
$entry->addChild("phone", $phone);
$sxe->asXML("test.xml");
}
?>
<!doctype html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action=''>
ID# <input type="text" value="" name="ID"/>
Name <input type="text" value="" name="name"/>
Email <input type="text" value="" name="email"/>
Phone <input type="text" value="" name="phone"/>
<input name="submit" type="submit" />
</form>
</body>

Make sure you have write permissions to that file. Set chmod value to 666 if you want to write to that file.
