I need to add in a new root node to the following XML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<unit>
<source>
<id>ANCH02</id>
<uri>http://www.hamiltonisland.biz/tabid/339/Default.aspx</uri>
</source>
</unit>
to become
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<units>
<unit>
<source>
<id>ANCH02</id>
<uri>http://www.hamiltonisland.biz/tabid/339/Default.aspx</uri>
</source>
</unit>
</units>
How could I do this? It doesn't seem like SimpleXMLElement has this functionality. I have also looked at this DomNode example http://php.net/manual/en/domnode.insertbefore.php but it doesnt seem to be able to add in a new root node.
This seem to work
$units = $dom->createElement('units');
$units->appendChild($dom->documentElement);
$dom->appendChild($units);
DOMDocument:
$yourDOMDOMDocument ... <--- already loaded XML
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->appendChild($doc->createElement('Units'));
$doc->documentElement->appendChild($doc->importNode($yourDOMDocument->documentElement));
Or. if you have your XML as SimpleXMLElement already:
$yourSimpleXML ... <--- already loaded XML
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->appendChild($doc->createElement('Units'));
$domnode = dom_import_simplexml($yourSimpleXML);
$doc->documentElement->appendChild($doc->importNode($domnode));
//if you want it back as SXE:
$newSimpleXMLElement = simplexml_import_dom($doc);
