EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Saving a DOM tree into a string

	      <?php

	      $doc = new DOMDocument('1.0');
	      // we want a nice output
	      $doc->formatOutput = true;

	      $root = $doc->createElement('book');
	      $root = $doc->appendChild($root);

	      $title = $doc->createElement('title');
	      $title = $root->appendChild($title);

	      $text = $doc->createTextNode('This is the title');
	      $text = $title->appendChild($text);

	      echo "Saving all the document:
";
	      echo $doc->saveXML() . "
";

	      echo "Saving only the title part:
";
	      echo $doc->saveXML($title);

	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      Saving all the document:
	      <?xml version="1.0"?>
	      <book>
		<title>This is the title</title>
	      </book>

	      Saving only the title part:
	      <title>This is the title</title>
