Question:
How do I avoid that DOMDocument creates initial xml-tag?:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
Wanted code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>My site</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Produced code using DOMDocument:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>My site</title>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
My script:
<?php
/**

* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19482826/using-domdocument-to-create-elements-in-an-html-file

*/
// Creates an instance of the DOMImplementation class
$imp = new DOMImplementation;
// Doctype
$dtd = $imp->createDocumentType(
'html', '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN', 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'
);
// Base document
$doc = $imp->createDocument("", "", $dtd);
$doc->formatOutput = true;
/**

*/
// [L-1]
$html=$doc->appendChild(
$doc->createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml","html")
);
$html->setAttribute("lang", "en");
$html->setAttribute("xml:lang", "en");
$doc->appendChild($html);
// [L-2]
$head=$html->appendChild(
$doc->createElement('head')
);
// [L-3]
$title=$head->appendChild(
$doc->createElement(
'title',
"My site"
)
);
// [L-2]
$body=$html->appendChild(
$doc->createElement('body')
);
// Save
echo $doc->saveHTML();
$doc->save("auto_produced_xhtml.xhtml");
You can use saveHTMLFile();
instead of save()
to ... save as HTML file. Replace
$doc->save("auto_produced_xhtml.xhtml");
with
$doc->saveHTMLFile("auto_produced_xhtml.xhtml");
