What's not mentioned here is that DOMNode::appendChild() can also be used to move an existing node to another part of the DOMDocument, e.g.



<?php

$doc = new DOMDocument();

$doc->loadXML("<foobar><bar/><foo/></foobar>");

$bar = $doc->documentElement->firstChild;

$foo = $doc->documentElement->lastChild;

$foo->appendChild($bar);

print $doc->saveXML();

?>



This produces:



<?xml version="1.0"?>

<foobar><foo><bar/></foo></foobar>



Note that the nodes "<foo/>" and "<bar/>" were siblings, i.e. the first and last child of "<foobar>" but using appendChild() we were able to move "<bar/>" so that it is a child of "<foo/>".



This saves you the trouble of doing a DOMNode::removeChild($bar) to remove "<bar/>" before appending it as a child of "<foo/>".

If you want to create nested DOM elements:



<?php

    $doc = new DOMDocument();

    

    $foo = $doc->createElement("foo");

    $doc->appendChild($foo);



    $bar = $doc->createElement("bar");

    $foo->appendChild($bar);



    $bazz = $doc->createElement("bazz");

    $foo->appendChild($bazz);



    echo $doc->saveXML();

?>



Is equivalent to:



<foo>

  <bar></bar>

  <bazz></bazz>

</foo>
