I swear I tried that!  ;D But it now works!  Thanks for the help. [quote author=448191 link=topic=105448.msg421288#msg421288 date=1156406815] That won't do it. This will: [code] <?php $licencenumber = 123456789; $xmlDoc =<<<XML <?xml version="1.0"?> <AccessRequest xml:lang="en-US">   <AccessLicenseNumber>$licencenumber</AccessLicenseNumber> </AccessRequest> XML; ?>[/code] Heredoc (<<) will expand vars as if you were using double quotes. Alternitively, you  could look up XML entities. [/quote]

I don't understand.  what should I be using instead?

I currently have this: [code]$xmlDoc =<<<XML <?xml version="1.0"?> <AccessRequest xml:lang="en-US">   <AccessLicenseNumber>123456789</AccessLicenseNumber> </AccessRequest> XML;[/code] How can I substitute use a variable inside of a <<<XML XML.  For instance, I want to use $number rather than 123456789.

I am not sure why I am getting this error.  DOMElement is a sublcass of DomNode. Fatal error: Call to undefined method DOMElement::set_content() Here is my code snippet. [code]$var = new DomElement("name"); $var->set_content("some_content");[/code] Thanks in advance.  I am using PHP 5.1.2 and PHP 5.1.4
