XML editing

[Fark_Maniac]

I'm looking to setup a Vibe Streamer application. Vibe uses an xml file to store users and groups. I've looked around and have found out how to use PHP and SimpleXML to read the file, however, what I'd like to do is write my own application where I can edit or add a user into this xml document.

I have thought about reading in all data, inserting new information into a mysql database, then exporting back out...but that just seems like too much.

Is there a simpler way to do this? I've tried to google some, but maybe I'm not using the correct terms.

Looking at this a little longer, I think I have an idea:

I use this to load the xml I want to edit:

???

Finally, I'll save the file back out:
