# DOMDocument::createElement

(PHP 5)

DOMDocument::createElement — Create new element node

### Descrição

public DOMElement DOMDocument::createElement ( string `$name` [, string `$value` ] )

This function creates a new instance of class DOMElement. Este nó não será exibido no documento a não ser que ele seja inserido, por exemplo, com DOMNode->appendChild().

### Parâmetros

`name`

  The tag name of the element.

`value`

  The value of the element. By default, an empty element will be created. The value can also be set later with DOMElement::$nodeValue.

### Valor Retornado

Returns a new instance of class DOMElement or `FALSE` if an error occurred.

### Erros

`DOM_INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR`

  Raised if `name` contains an invalid character.

### Exemplos

Exemplo #1 Creating a new element and inserting it as root

`<?php
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$element = $dom->createElement('test', 'This is the root element!');
// We insert the new element as root (child of the document)
$dom->appendChild($element);
echo $dom->saveXML();
?>`

O exemplo acima irá imprimir:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <test>This is the root element!</test>

### Notas

> Nota:

> The `value` will not be escaped. Use DOMDocument::createTextNode() to create a text node with escaping support.
