QUESTION Foreach how?

[shawn_a]

does your input data change also
"$atts= $data->children();" instead of attributes , is that correct for the input data ?

It looks ok at a glance, hmm

also you are modifying your foreach value variable $data
$data = $xml->addChild('data');
use another varname like $node

PHP Code:

foreach ($testfile->data as $data) 
    {
                    
        $atts= $data->children();
        $node= $xml->addChild('data');
        $node->addChild('name', $atts['name']);
                                    
    }
