phpDom help (XML)

[tinuviel]

Hi there! I'm using phpDom functions to write a new child node to a document. But using phpDom's function appendChild...it is writing the WHOLE node on oneline. So my whole document is ending up on one line. How do I insert a newline and possibly even a tab (not totally necessary) after each element node within a child. Thanks!

Michael..thanks but no thanks. I'm not writing the elements to a "String" and then to my document. I cannot insert a "\n" in there because it is manipulating the nodes through an object oriented approach. Please take a look at the phpDom library function at let me know how I can implement the "\n" in there if possible.

Sorry for any inconvenience ...

The appendChild-method of phpDOM uses and relies on the new_child-method of the DOM/XML Library (--with-dom)

Any newline character or tabulator character would be treated as a text node in the dom-tree. The problem is, that there is currently no method to create XML_TEXT_NODEs other than as the content of an XML_ELEMENT_NODE.

Newly created nodes therefore appear on one single line. But why worrying, the meaning of the created document is the same.
