In this example, we retrieve the parameters from the POST
array (assuming that the form is submitted using the POST method), add them to the
user's existing parameters, rebind them to the user object, and save the changes:
// get the user object and the post array.
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$post = JRequest::get('post');
// get the existing parameters
$params = $user->getParameters();
// add the parameters from the form submission
$params->bind($post['myparams']);
// update and save the user
$user->set('params', $params->toString());
$user->save();
The last option we will explore is modifying the users.xml file. To do this, we will
utilize the JSimpleXML parser. For a complete description of the JSimpleXML parser,
please refer to Chapter 10.

The first thing we need to do is get hold of the XML file and parse the contents:
// get a parser
$parser =& JFactory::getXMLParser('Simple');
// define the path to the XML file
$pathToXML_File = JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.
