Example 1. Creating a document with an attached DTD

<?php

$imp = new DOMImplementation;

// Creates a DOMDocumentType instance
$dtd = $imp->createDocumentType('graph', '', 'graph.dtd');

// Creates a DOMDocument instance
$dom = $imp->createDocument("", "", $dtd);

// Set other properties
$dom->encoding = 'UTF-8';
$dom->standalone = false;

// Create an empty element
$element = $dom->createElement('graph');
