The DOMDocument::saveXML() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to create an XML document from the DOM representation. This function is used after building a new dom document from scratch.
Syntax:
string DOMDocument::saveXML( DOMNode $node, int $options = 0 )
Parameters: This function accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- $node: This parameter is used for output only for specific node without XML declaration rather than the entire document.
- $options: This parameter adds the additional options. Currently this parameter supports only LIBXML_NOEMPTYTAG.
Return Value: This function returns the XML document on success or FALSE on failure.
