<?php

include("chilkat.php");

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

$xml->put_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','');
print $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');
print $xml->getXml() . "\n";

// The output:

// 	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// 	<aaa>
// 	    <penguin>flightless bird</penguin>
// 	    <mammal>
// 	        <rodent>
// 	            <squirrel>bushy tail</squirrel>
// 	        </rodent>
