MG> (PHP version is 4.3.2, Apache 2.0.44 on Win2k) You have to pass references to the objects, the ones returned by append_child. The first time you have to get the root parent and work from there onwards. like : $doc = domxml_new_doc("1.0"); $table = $doc->create_element("table"); $row = $doc->create_element("row"); $col = $doc->create_element("td"); $root = $dom->document_element(); $t1 = $root->append_child($table); $r1 = $t1->append_child($row); $c1 = $r1->append_child($col); $c2 = $r1->append_child($col); $r2 = $t1->append_child($row); $c3 = $r1->append_child($col); $c4 = $r1->append_child($col); -- regards, Tom
