How to edit an xml node removing its declaration tag?

[Jordi Puigmique]

Hello,

I'm using this script to change the IP settings for a server application that won't run if the xml has the version declaration tag:

<?php

$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ ADDR") ;

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->formatOutput = true;

$root = $dom->createElement( "ServerSettings ");
$dom->appendChild($r oot);

$IP = $dom->createElement( "IP");
$root->appendChild($I P);

$text = $dom->createTextNode ("$ip");
$IP->appendChild($t ext);

$Port = $dom->createElement( "Port");
$root->appendChild($P ort);

$text = $dom->createTextNode ("9875");
$Port->appendChild($t ext);

print $dom->saveXML($root) ;
$dom->save("ServerSe ttings.xml")
?>


it echoes properly, but still adds the declaration version line on overwriting the ServerSettings file:

echo ex:

<ServerSettings >
<IP>88.8.36.147 </IP>
<Port>34</Port>
</ServerSettings>

Can anyone lend me a hand? Or suggest any tutorial?
