$element = $dom->appendChild(new DOMElement('root'));
$element_ns = new DOMElement('pr:node1', 'thisvalue', 'http://xyz');
$element->appendChild($element_ns);

echo $dom->saveXML(); /* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<root><pr:node1 xmlns:pr="http://xyz">thisvalue</pr:node1></root> */

If you like to view an element simply do: <?php echo htmlentities($element->C14N()); ?> Undocumented but found ;)

I'm just starting to get into the DOM methods and finding it pretty challenging. One of the obstacles is that once you've got a node, there doesn't seem to be any way to see what's inside it (at least I haven't been able to find it). You'd expect (I did) print_r to show you the properties (attributes) of the node, but all it tells you is the object type. So I wrote this little function to mimic the way I think print_r should work: <?php function nodeDump($node) { $output = print_r($node, TRUE); $output = str_replace(")\n", '', $output); $output .= ' ' . '[tagName] => ' . $node->tagName . " \n"; $numOfAttribs = $node->attributes->length; for ($i = 0; $i < $numOfAttribs; $i++) { $output .= ' [' . $node->attributes->item($i)->nodeName . '] => ' . $node->attributes->item($i)->nodeValue . " \n"; } $output .= ' [nodeValue] => ' . $node->nodeValue; $output .= ')'; return $output; } ?> OK - to really work like print_r it would also go through all the childNodes recursively, but it's a start.

Dennis: DOMDocument::saveXML can take in a node as a parameter and output the XML as a string. Perhaps this is what you were looking for?
