The DOMImplementation::createDocument() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to create a DOMDocument object of the specified type with its document element.

Syntax:

DOMDocument DOMImplementation::createDocument( string $namespaceURI = NULL, 
string $qualifiedName = NULL, DOMDocumentType $doctype = NULL )

Parameters: This function accepts three parameters as mentioned above and described below:

  • $namespaceURI (Optional): It specifies the namespace URI of the document element to create.
  • $qualifiedName (Optional): It specifies the qualified name of the document element to create.
  • $doctype (Optional): It specifies the type of document to create or NULL.

Return Value: This function returns DOMDocument object on success.

Exceptions: This function throws DOM_WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR, if doctype has already been used with a different document or was created from a different implementation or DOM_NAMESPACE_ERR, if there is an error with the namespace, as determined by $namespaceURI and $qualifiedName.
