php

<?php

// Create a new DOMDocument
$dom = new DOMDocument();
 
// Create an element
$node = $dom->createElement("p", 'GeeksforGeeks');
 
// Add the node to the dom
$newnode = $dom->appendChild($node);
 
// Create a DOMAttr instance which
// increase the font-size
$attr = new DOMAttr('style', 'font-size: 80px;');

// Set the attribute
$newnode->setAttributeNode($attr);
 
// View the XML
echo $dom->saveXML();
?>

    <html>
        <h1 id=\"my_id\"> Geeksforgeeks </h1>
        <h2> Second heading </h2>
    </html>
</root>");

// Get the elements
$node = $dom->getElementsByTagName('h1')[0];
 
echo "Before the addition of attributes: <br>";

// Get the attribute count
$attributeCount = $node->attributes->count();
echo 'No of attributes => ' . $attributeCount;
 
// Create a DOMAttr instance
$attr = new DOMAttr('class', 'value');

// Add the new attribute
$node->setAttributeNode($attr);
 
echo "<br>After the addition of attributes: <br>";
 
// Get the attribute count
$attributeCount = $node->attributes->count();
