I've found that newer versions of PHP5 require some special syntax in order to properly convert between SimpleXML and DOM. It's not as easy as calling dom_import_simplexml() with a SimpleXML node. To get a proper DOM document (which you need to do most things) you need: <?php //$xml is a SimpleXML instance $domnode = dom_import_simplexml($xml); $dom = new DOMDocument(); $domnode = $dom->importNode($domnode, true); $dom->appendChild($domnode); ?> Switching back, though, is, well...simple. <?php //$dom is a DOMDocument instance $xml = simplexml_import_dom($dom); ?>
