[PHP] adding contents to xml file string ways

[travis]

here is my code, i am trying to acheive this....
<?
$openingEntry = '<entry ';
$numberAtt = ' number=';
$nameAtt = ' name=';
$dateAtt = ' date=';
$messageAtt = ' message=';
$linkAtt = ' link=';
$closingEntry = "\"/>";
$Entry=
$openingEntry."$numberAtt"."$myNumber".$nameAtt."$myName".$dateAtt."$myDate"
.$messageAtt."$myMessage".$linkAtt."$myLink".$closingEntry;
$fileName = "news.xml";
if ($fp = fopen ($fileName, "a+")){
$contents = fread ($fp, filesize ($fileName));
$temp = substr($contents,6);
$newContents = "<news>" . $Entry . $temp;
print "$newContents";
fwrite($fp,$newContents);
fclose($fp);
echo "done = true";
} else {
echo "done = false";
}
?>
i have an xml file with the following,

<news>
<entry number = "0" name = "name" date = "date" message = "message" link =
"link"/>
</news>

I want to add an entry like this:

<news>
<entry number = "1" name = "name" date = "date" message = "message" link =
"link"/>
<entry number = "0" name = "name" date = "date" message = "message" link =
"link"/>
</news>

any ideas? i think i am ont he right track, short of splitting the contents
into arrays.....Id rather deal with it in strings.... help?

thanx
travis
