XML String into PHP

Question

I feel like I'm going crazy. I need to take a string of text from an xml file, and define it as a PHP variable and output it into an HTML page. I can't figure out why this wont work. Any ideas??

I have this xml document (people.xml):

<?xml version="1.0"?> <datas> <person> <people> <owner>Joe Blow</owner> </people> </person> </datas>

This PHP (db.php):

<?php $xml = simplexml_load_file('people.xml') or die("Error: Can't load people"); $xml->person->people->owner = $owner; ?>

This HTML(index.php):

<?php include 'db.php';?> <label for="owner-1"><?php echo $owner ?></label>

Assuming everything else is right / Based on the code you have shown,

$xml->person->people->owner = $owner;

should be

$owner = $xml->person->people->owner;

You are trying to assign the value of $owner to $xml->person->people->owner It should be the other way round.
