Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\Xml;

// Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.
$xml = new Xml();

$xml->Tag = 'aaa';

// A single tag can be passed to NewChild2, and this behaves as it always has:
$xml->NewChild2('penguin', 'flightless bird');
$xml->NewChild2('mammal', '');
echo $xml->GetXml(), "\n";

// The output:

/*
 *     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
 *     <aaa>
 *         <penguin>flightless bird</penguin>
 *         <mammal />
 *     </aaa>
 *
 * Starting in v9.5.0.64, a tag path can be used.
 * It will cause nodes to be automatically created as needed.
 */
$xml->NewChild2('red|green|blue', 'sky');
$xml->NewChild2('mammal|rodent|squirrel', 'bushy tail');
echo $xml->GetXml(), "\n";

// The output:

/*
 *     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
 *     <aaa>
 *         <penguin>flightless bird</penguin>
 *         <mammal>
