    <?php
    // set up the document
    $xml = new XmlWriter();
    $xml->openMemory();
    $xml->setIndent(true);
    $xml->startDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
    $xml->startElement('mydoc');
    $xml->startElement('myele');

    // CData output
    $xml->startElement('mycdataelement');
    $xml->writeCData("text for inclusion as CData");
    $xml->endElement();

    // end the document and output
    $xml->endElement();
    $xml->endElement();
    echo     $xml->outputMemory(true);
    ?>
