simplexml_import_dom - Get a SimpleXMLElementobject from a DOM node.

SYNOPSIS

       SimpleXMLElement simplexml_import_dom (DOMNode  $node, [string  $class_name = "SimpleXMLElement"])

DESCRIPTION

	This  function	takes  a node of a DOM document and makes it into a SimpleXML node. This new object can then be used as a native SimpleXML
       element.

PARAMETERS

	      o $node
		- A DOM Element node

	      o $class_name
		- You may use this optional parameter so that simplexml_import_dom(3) will return an object of the  specified  class.  That  class
		should extend the SimpleXMLElement class.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns a SimpleXMLElement or FALSE on failure.

       Warning

	      This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to FALSE. Please read the section on
	      Booleans for more information. Use the === operator for testing the return value of this function.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Importing DOM

	      <?php
	      $dom = new DOMDocument;
	      $dom->loadXML('<books><book><title>blah</title></book></books>');
	      if (!$dom) {
		  echo 'Error while parsing the document';
		  exit;
	      }

	      $s = simplexml_import_dom($dom);

	      echo $s->book[0]->title;
	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      blah
