Using DOM in PHP 5 to Write XML

 $dom = new DOMDocument(); 

When using PHP 5, the code changes a bit, but most of it is changing to studly caps.

Creating XML with DOM (dom-write5.php; excerpt)

 <?php   require_once 'stripFormSlashes.inc.php';   $dom = new DOMDocument();   $dom->load('quotes.xml');   $quote = $dom->createElement('quote');   $quote->setAttribute('year', $_POST['year']);   $phrase = $dom->createElement('phrase');   $phraseText = $dom-> createTextNode($_POST['quote']);   $phrase->appendChild($phraseText);   $author = $dom->createElement('author');   $authorText = $dom-> createTextNode($_POST['author']);   $author->appendChild($authorText);   $quote->appendChild($phrase);   $quote->appendChild($author);   $dom->documentElement->appendChild($quote);   $dom->save('quotes.xml');   echo 'Quote saved.'; ?> 

NOTE

PHP 5's DOM extension does not offer something like PHP 5's set_content(), so you have to define the text values of the nodes using the createTextNode() method, as shown in the preceding code.
