I realize what the documentation says, but when creating both a new
DOMElement object, or extending the DOMElement object I don't have
access to any DOMNode methods in PHP 5.2.0.
e.g.

class HtmlElement extends DOMElement
{
...
}

$htmlElement = new HtmlElement();
$htmlElement->appendChild(...);

Will not work because the method is supposedly undefined. In
addition:

$domEl = new DOMElement();
$domEl->appendChild(...);

.... doesn't seem to work either. I've looked through several sources
online and offline which all seem to indicate that calls to DOMNode
methods should be working, but they aren't for me. Am I going crazy?
Am I doing something wrong? Anyone please help! Thanks!
