php and xml DomDocument

[ibidrin]

Hi Ng,
a error occurs in my class Articles in which i try to add an element
to an existing xml-file.
$var_dump($channels) >>>object(DOMNOdeList)+6 (0) {}
$var_dump($channels->length) >>>int(0)
$var_dump($channels->item(0)) >>>NULL

The tag article exists in the xml-file but it were not found by method
getElementsByTagName.
Following error were occur:

Fatal error: Call to a member function appendChild() on a non-object
in ...
Any suggestions?
class Article extends DomDocument
{
public function __contruct()
{
parent::__contruct('1.0','utf-8');
}
public function addArticle($title, $text)
{
$newItem = $this->createElement('item');
$newTitle = $this->createElement('title');
$newTitle->appendChild($this->createTextNode($title));
$newItem->appendChild($newTitle);
$newText = $this->createCDATASection($text);
$newItem->appendChilde($newText);
$channels = $this->getElementsByTagName('articles');
//hier bekomme ich den Fehler, obwohl es den Tag "arcticles" gibt
$channels->item(0)->appendChild($newItem);
//andere Ideen wie ich einen neuen Text in einer bestehender xml-
Datei
anhängen kann?
}
}

Yup. Tanslate your comments as well next time. ;)

For people unable to understand Germen:
// here I'm getting the error, although "articles" exists.
// any other ideas on how to append new text to an existing xml file?

Where are you loading your XML file, and what does it look like?

What's your actual code, or is this typo in your real code as well?

}
public function addArticle($title, $text)
{
$newItem = $this->createElement('item');
$newTitle = $this->createElement('title');
$newTitle->appendChild($this->createTextNode($title));
$newItem->appendChild($newTitle);
$newText = $this->createCDATASection($text);
$newItem->appendChilde($newText);
$channels = $this->getElementsByTagName('articles');
//hier bekomme ich den Fehler, obwohl es den Tag "arcticles" gibt

"arcticles" or "articles" ?

//andere Ideen wie ich einen neuen Text in einer bestehender xml-

anhängen kann?
}
}
