(no version information, might be only in CVS)

SimpleXMLElement->asXML() -- Return a well-formed XML string based on SimpleXML element

## Descrição

class SimpleXMLElement {
mixed asXML ( [string filename] )
}

The `asXML` method formats the parent object's data in XML version 1.0.

## Parâmetros

`filename`

  If specified, the function writes the data to the file rather than returning it.

## Valores de retornado

If the `filename` isn't specified, this function returns a string on success and `FALSE` on error. If the parameter is specified, it returns `TRUE` if the file was written successfully and `FALSE` otherwise.

## Exemplos

Exemplo 1. Get XML
`<?php $string = <<<XML <a> <b> <c>text</c> <c>stuff</c> </b> <d> <c>code</c> </d> </a> XML; $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($string); echo $xml->asXML(); // <?xml ... <a><b><c>text</c><c>stuff</c> ... ?>`

`asXML` also works on Xpath results:

Exemplo 2. Using asXML() on Xpath results
