Creates a new DOMProcessingInstruction object. This object is read only. It may be appended to a document, but additional nodes may not be appended to this node until the node is associated with a document. To create a writeable node, use DOMDocument::createProcessingInstruction.

Parameters:

value

Examples:

Creating a new DOMProcessingInstruction object

<?php
 
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$html = $dom->appendChild(new DOMElement('html'));
$body = $html->appendChild(new DOMElement('body'));
$pinode = new DOMProcessingInstruction('php', 'echo "Hello World"; ');
$body->appendChild($pinode);
echo $dom->saveXML(); 
 
?>

The above example will output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html><body><?php echo "Hello World"; ?></body></html>
