You have to work with the DOMDocument instance returned by XML_Query2XML::getXML(): //returns an instance of DOMDocument $doc = $query2xml->getXML($sql, $options); //get the root DOMElement $root = $doc->firstChild; //set the attribute using DOMElement::setAttribute() $root->setAttribute('date_generated', date("Y-m-d\TH:i:s")); BTW: http://query2xml.sourceforge.net/docs/html/XML_Query2XML/tutorial_XML_Query2 XML.pkg.html#casestudies.case05 contains such an example. You can read more about PHP5's DOM extension and the classes it provides here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dom.php Cheers, Lukas
