// Create a new DOM Document
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'iso-8859-1');
  
// Create a h1 element
$element = $dom->appendChild(new DOMElement('h1'));
  
// Create a DOMComment
$comment = $element->appendChild(
        new DOMComment('This line is a comment'));
  
echo $dom->saveXML();
?>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<h1><!--This line is a comment--></h1>

// Create a new DOM Document
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'iso-8859-1');
  
// Create a h1 element
$element = $dom->appendChild(new DOMElement('h1'));
  
// Create a DOMCdataSection 
$comment = $element->appendChild(new DOMComment(
        'This line is a comment about content'));

          'div', 'This is the actual content'));
