Answer 1

is your code block copy and pasted from your existing files? if so i see two potential issues:

 // should be:

note: you're missing action="insert.php", which would cause the form to just reload itself without submitting, which is the behaviour you describe.

secondly, make sure you have write permission to "sample.xml". you can confirm if you're actually writing anything:

print 'I wrote '.$xmldoc->save('sample.xml').' bytes of data';
