// Create a new document
$newdoc = new DOMDocument;
$newdoc->formatOutput = true;
// Add some markup
$newdoc->loadXML("<root><someelement>text in some element</someelement></root>");
echo "The 'new document' before copying nodes into it:\n";
echo $newdoc->saveXML();
// Import the node, and all its children, to the document
