SimpleXml to string
You can use the SimpleXMLElement::asXML()
method to accomplish this:
$string = "<element><child>Hello World</child></element>";$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($string);// The entire XML tree as a string:// "<element><child>Hello World</child></element>"$xml->asXML();// Just the child node as a string:// "<child>Hello World</child>"$xml->child->asXML();
