$doc = new_xmldoc("1.0");
$root = $doc->add_root("HTML");
$head = $root->new_child("HEAD", "");
$head->set_attribute("Language","english");
$head->set_attribute("Region","USA");
$title = $head->new_child("TITLE", "Hello World");
$root->new_child("BODY","This is the body");

$children = $root->children();
$count = count($children);
for ($i=0; $i<$count; $i++) {
    print "Child: " . $children[$i]->name . "<BR>";
