Example #1 Basic XMLWriter::startAttribute() Usage
<?php
$writer = new XMLWriter;
$writer->openURI('php://output');
$writer->startDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$writer->startElement('element');
$writer->startAttribute('attribute');
$writer->text('value');
$writer->endAttribute();
$writer->endElement();
$writer->endDocument();
The above example will output something similar to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <element attribute="value"/>
