Using SimpleXML

Hello,

I have started using SimpleXML and can do most things, but there are a
couple of things that I can't seem to figure out.

Currently, I can:

1. Open & load an XML file
2. Manually parse the XML file
3. Search the XML file using XPath
4. Make changes to existing nodes (values)

However, I can't seem to be able to:

1. Add a new node / element.
2. Save my changes back to the XML file

Am I missing something, or are these things that currently cannot be
done with SimpleXML?

Thanks so much,

Hugh
