<?php $orgdoc = new DOMDocument; $orgdoc->loadXML("<root><element><child>text in child</child></element></root>"); // The node we want to import to a new document $node = $orgdoc->getElementsByTagName("element")->item(0); // Create a new document $newdoc = new DOMDocument; $newdoc->formatOutput = true; // Add some markup $newdoc->loadXML("<root><someelement>text in some element</someelement></root>"); echo "The 'new document' before copying nodes into it:\n"; echo $newdoc->saveXML(); // Import the node, and all its children, to the document $node = $newdoc->importNode($node, true); // And then append it to the "<root>" node $newdoc->documentElement->appendChild($node); echo "\nThe 'new document' after copying the nodes into it:\n"; echo $newdoc->saveXML(); ?>
