<?php

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

$xml->Tag = 'aaa';
$xml->NewChild2('red|green|blue','sky');

// Show the XML in normal indented (pretty-printed) format:
print $xml->getXml() . "\n";

// The output:

// 	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// 	<aaa>
// 	    <red>
// 	        <green>
// 	            <blue>sky</blue>
// 	        </green>
// 	    </red>

$xml->EmitCompact = 1;

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

// The compact output:
