DOMDocument->saveXML -- Dumps the internal XML tree back into a string

Description

string DOMDocument->saveXML ( [DOMNode node])

Creates an XML document from the dom representation. This function is usually called after building a new dom document from scratch as in the example below. The node is used to output only the node rather than the entire document.

Example 1. Creating a simple HTML document header

<?php
$doc
= new DOMDocument("1.0");
$root = $doc->createElement("HTML");
$root = $doc->appendChild($root);
$head = $doc->createElement("HEAD");
$head = $root->appendChild($head);
$title = $doc->createElement("TITLE");
$title = $head->appendChild($title);
$text = $doc->createTextNode("This is the title");
$text = $title->appendChild($text);
echo
"<PRE>";
echo
htmlentities($doc->saveXML());
echo
"</PRE>";
?>
