Adding Attributes to all XML Nodes

Howdy,

I have an PHP page that edits XML files. I want ADD a new *id* attribute to all nodes on the page that do not have it all ready. Then i want to delete all of the values of *id* and set them as an incremental 1-x values down the page.

This is the current code i am using to edit specific nodes. Im trying to use DOM, but it doesn't have to be. I just need it to work.
Code:
<?php
$content = $_POST['content'];
$id = $_POST['id'];
$node = $_POST['node'];
$explode = explode("_",$node);
 
$dom=new DOMDocument();
$dom->load('sample.xml');
$dom->formatOutput = true;
//echo $dom->saveXML(); // show before file
$allnodes = $dom->getElementsByTagName($explode[0]);
foreach ($allnodes as $nodes) {
    if ($nodes->nodeName==$explode[0] and $nodes->getAttribute('id')==$id) { //
        $nodes->setAttribute($explode[1],$content);
    }
}
$dom->save('sample.xml');
?>

This is the XML file im working with. **NOTE** the missing *id* attributes of the 2nd *child01* node.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<parent option01="other info" option02="other info" id="1">
    <child01 option01="child01 option01" option02="child01 option02" id="2">
        <child02 option01="child02 option01" option02="child02 option02" id="3">
            <text option01="text option01" option02="text option02" id="4">

This shows you all the necessary elements involved in getting the result.
[tt]
<?php
$content = $_POST['content'];
$id = $_POST['id'];
$node = $_POST['node'];
$explode = explode("_",$node);
[blue]
$nserial=0; //your starting number
$prefix="prefix"; //your input
$suffix="suffix"; //your input
[/blue]
$dom=new DOMDocument();
$dom->load('sample.xml');
$dom->formatOutput = true;
//echo $dom->saveXML(); // show before file
$allnodes = $dom->getElementsByTagName([blue]"*"[/blue]);
foreach ($allnodes as $nodes) {
if ($nodes->nodeName==$explode[0] and $nodes->getAttribute('id')==$id) {
[blue]$nodes->setAttribute($attrname,$content);[/blue]
}
[blue]$nodes->setAttribute('id',$prefix.$nserial++.$suffix);[/blue]
}

$dom->save('sample.xml');
?>
[/tt]
 
Amendment
$attrname is meant to be the $explode[1]. The corresponding line should be read like this.

[tt] $nodes->setAttribute([red]$explode[1][/red],$content);[/tt]
