Output XML file, without saving

Question

I want to be able to create a XML File, add nodes and such to it, then output it to the screen without saving.

$bookxml = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');

is how i have the XML file created, however i just can't anyway to display the XML file on the screen without saving it.

However i am having a problem with outputting even in save, this is the line i have

echo $bookxml->save("testing.xml");

All this does is return the file size of the newly created XML, and not the contents.

Any help would be awesome, i'm completely stumped on this.

What you're looking for is saveXML, additionally you can use htmlspecialchars to encode the xml so you can see it in your browser display.

echo htmlspecialchars($bookxml->saveXML());
