local file = xmlCreateFile("file.xml", "data") 
local child = xmlCreateChild(file, "radararea") 
xmlNodeSetAttribute(child, "colorR", yourcolorR) 
xmlNodeSetAttribute(child, "colorG", yourcolorG) 
xmlNodeSetAttribute(child, "colorB", yourcolorB) 
xmlSaveFile(file) 
xmlUnloadFile(file) 

Fast-typed, can be wrong, but doubt it.

Here are all XML functions:

It's still hard for me but , i'll check every function .

Should i put my xml code in the Lua file , where i created the radar area or there is any way i can save all radar areas on server?

local gAreas = getElementsByType("radararea") 
for placeNumber, areaData in ipairs(gAreas) do 
    --Get stuff and place them into XML 
end 
--Later, when you want to receive them: 
local xmlLoadFile("file.xml") 
local child = xmlFindChild(file,  
local gChildren = xmlNodeGetChildren(child) 
for placeNumber, childrenData in ipairs(gChildren) do 
    --Get attributes (Like position, colors, etc.) and use them 
end 

Just make a random XML file, and try creating some childs and finding them. Also with attributes. Explanations are on wiki.
