there's nothing in that code that deals with xml at all. Your only PHP code is <?=$message?> (which ought to be <?php echo $message; ?>), but you don't even include the php that sets a value to that variable.

Adrian is there a way that you can guide me about how to add the variables that you said?

From what you have posted it is unclear what you want. There is no XML file reference in there and the $message variable is not being set to anything. What Traq posted for you was how to display the contents of the variable but I don't see that being set anywhere. Is there more code or is this all of the code? When you said you are writting to and reading an XML file, is that what you want to do here or do you do that somewhere else?
