There is no real standard for creating DTDs on the fly, and therefore libxml/DOM doesn't have any methods afaik. The one method DOMElement::setIDAttribute() should work I think, but whilst PHP has the method, doesn’t seem todo anything. :/
DocumentType nodes are read-only in DOM thus cannot be built on the fly. Also notice that not all components, such as ATTLIST, even have a node type. setIDAttribute - thats on the TODO list. Were some previous libxml issues to be resolved before that could be implemented (so it will be added, but require a minimum libxml2 version to work). Can always use xml:id attributes for that purpose for now though. Rob
