<?php
class myElement extends DOMElement {
function appendElement($name) {
return $this->appendChild(new myElement($name));
}
}
class myDocument extends DOMDocument {
function setRoot($name) {
return $this->appendChild(new myElement($name));
}
}
$doc = new myDocument();
$doc->registerNodeClass('DOMElement', 'myElement');
// From now on, adding an element to another costs only one method call !
$root = $doc->setRoot('root');
$child = $root->appendElement('child');
$child->setAttribute('foo', 'bar');
echo $doc->saveXML();
?>
The above example will output:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root><child foo="bar"/></root>
