Hello,


I'm trying to create a single function to append new nodes to a
DOMDocument object:

public function addElement( $element, $name, $value = '', $attrs = Null
)
{
if( !( $created = $this->createElement( $name, $value ) ) )
throw new Exception( 'Could not create a new node ' );

if( !( $child = $element->appendChild( $child ) ) )
throw new Exception( 'Could not append a new node ' );

// Process and attachs the new attributes from array $attrs if
any...
// if( $attrs )
// foreach( $attrs as $attribute => $value )
// ...
}

So far, so good. Now I want to set attributes and its values of the
recent created node (playing with createAttribute() and setAttribute(),
but I can't get the DOMElement from the new child DOMNode. Is it
possible without issuing getElementsByTagName() or getElementById() ??

Is another easy way -using DomDocument object- to create a new
element (such <table width="50%" border="0">...</table>) which has its
attributes and its values ??

Thanks in advance,


Sebastián Araya
