Posting exactly the same question twice will not get your question answered. This might be because:
a) No one knows the answer, or
b) You haven't provided enough information for us to work out what the problem is.
c) You asked for us to do all the work for you without showing what you've tried already.
Do a google search for php and xml and see if you can come up with anything, try a few things, and if you find something you think should work but can't get it to then come back with a question.
Alternatively try posting on a php forum where you might get a better response.

//************************************************** *******
My code in lnewspost.php is not writing the following 2 lines in xml file pendingnews.xml
<person alignment="good"> //in the begning of block
</person> //in the end of the block
My First question is how to write these line at right location ?(through php code in lnewspost.php) note that I wrote it manually
My second question is, How I can delete any perticular block / blocks (starting with <person alignment="good/or evil"> and ending with </person>) and write it into another same xml file, named as
approvenews.xml by editing or without editing the cotents( means editing newstitle, newsdescription ..etc)?
//************************************************** ************
Please help for this code ...
Thanx and Regards
