<?php
 $url='success.xml';

 $name = $_POST['name'];
 $age = $_POST['id'];

 $doc = new DOMDocument();
 $root=$doc->createElement("order");
 $doc->appendChild($root);
 
 $textareaNode = $doc->createElement("name");
 $textNode = $doc->createTextNode($name);
 $textareaNode->appendChild($textNode);
 $root->appendChild($textareaNode); // use $root, not $doc
 
 $textareaNode = $doc->createElement("age");
 $textNode = $doc->createTextNode($age);
 $textareaNode->appendChild($textNode);
 $root->appendChild($textareaNode); // use $root, not $doc

 echo $doc->save($url);
?>

Now i want to insert all names and id in the order list whenever i input values in the respective textboxes.Also i changed
$name = $_POST;
$age = $_POST;;

$doc->getElementsByTagName("order");
//$t = $doc->createElement("title");
$t = $doc->createElement("name");
$t->appendChild($doc->createTextNode($name));

$l = $doc->createElement("age");
$l->appendChild($doc->createTextNode($age));
$title->appendChild($textareaNode);
echo $doc->save("success1.xml");
when i use the above code i am getting the root <order>...</order> repeated.I dont want this root to be shown.

the output is as below:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<order>
<title>
<name>google</name>
<age>12</age>
</title>
</order>
<order>
<title>
<name>nandhu</name>
<age>23</age>
</title>
</order>

Is there any solution to the above problem
