I experinced that DOMText, given a integer as only value to the constructor failed to return valid data. I had to typecast the input to a string first:
$intValue = 3252; // Post/Zip-code
$some_element->appendChild( new DOMText( (string) $intValue) );
When not typecasting using "(string)" the XML output from $root->saveXML() would not validate.
Parameters
-
data -
The value of the text node. If not supplied an empty text node is created.
Examples
Example #1 Creating a new DOMText
<?php
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'iso-8859-1');
$element = $dom->appendChild(new DOMElement('root'));
$text = $element->appendChild(new DOMText('root value'));
echo $dom->saveXML(); /* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><root>root value</root> */
?>
