I wanted to add a raw XML string to the XML I was creating but had problems using DOMDocument->createTextNode() as it encoded my tags. Have a look at DOMDocument->createDocumentFragment() and the the "appendXML" method...an example from the page <?php $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->loadXML("<root/>"); $f = $doc->createDocumentFragment(); $f->appendXML("<foo>text</foo><bar>text2</bar>"); $doc->documentElement->appendChild($f); echo $doc->saveXML(); ?> Will output... <?xml version="1.0" ?> <root><foo>text</foo><bar>text2</bar></root>

About escaping characters: This is standard behavior. brackets, ampersans, and maybe even quoted will be "escaped" if you output your XML as a string. This should not, however, happen if you append your text node to a CDATA section.
