Beispiele
Beispiel #1 Creating a new element and inserting it as root
<?php
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$element = $dom->createElement('test', 'This is the root element!');
// We insert the new element as root (child of the document)
$dom->appendChild($element);
echo $dom->saveXML();
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <test>This is the root element!</test>
Beispiel #2 Passing text containing an unescaped & as value
<?php
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$element = $dom->createElement('foo', 'me & you');
$dom->appendChild($element);
echo $dom->saveXML();
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt eine ähnliche Ausgabe wie:
Warning: DOMDocument::createElement(): unterminated entity reference you in /in/BjTCg on line 4 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <foo/>
