$node = new DOMElement("root"); is read only, while $node = $doc->createElement("root"); is not? Why?

$node = new DOMElement("root"); In this case the element is not associated with a document. In DOM, you really aren't supposed to have a node not associated with any document, but this syntax allows the DOM classes to be extended in PHP. Once the node is associated with a document, you then have full editing capabilities. Rob
