<?php 
$xml = simplexml_load_file('clients.xml');
$employee = $xml->addChild('employee');
$employee->addChild('name', 'Claud');
$employee->addChild('age', '20');
$employee->addChild('salary', 'This is all about the people who make it work.');

file_put_contents('clients.xml', $xml->asXML());

what if the XML is held as a variable? oh, its ok: simplexml_load_string. Should've checked first before asking

See the DOMDocument class documentation. There are examples for XML parsing and modifying.
