$root = $doc->create_element("HTML");

$root = $doc->append_child($root);

$head = $doc->create_element("HEAD");

$head = $root->append_child($head);

$title = $doc->create_element("TITLE");

$title = $head->append_child($title);

$text = $doc->create_text_node("This is the title");

$text = $title->append_child($text);

echo "<PRE>";

echo htmlentities($doc->dump_mem(true));

echo "</PRE>";

?>
