Adding an elements to existing xml document

I've gone over the code a million times, and I've even downloaded the code from this website and still can't seem to get it to work. Can anyone help me. The code is:

PHP Code:


			
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

  <head>

    <title>Adding an Element to an XML File with the DOM Extension</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="common.css">

  </head>

  <body>

    <h1>Adding an Element to an XML File with the DOM Extension</h1>

    <pre>



<?php



// Load XML file

$doc = new DOMDocument();

$doc->preserveWhiteSpace = false;

$doc->load( "./stock_list.xml" );

$doc->formatOutput = true;



// Get the stocklist root element

$stockListElements = $doc->getElementsByTagName(  "stockList" );

$stockList = $stockListElements->item( 0 );



// Create a new "item" element and add it to the stocklist

$item = $doc->createElement( "item" );

$item->setAttribute( "type", "vegetable" );

$stockList->appendChild( $item );



// Create the item's "name" child element

$name = $doc->createElement( "name", "carrot" );

$item->appendChild( $name );



// Create the item's "unitprice " child element

$unitPrice = $doc->createElement( "unitPrice", "0.79" );

$item->appendChild( $unitPrice );



//Create item's quantity element

$quantity = $doc->createElement( "quantity", "31" );

$item->appendChild( $quantity );



// Create item's description element

$description = $doc->createElement( "description" );

$item->appendChild( $description );

$cdata = $doc->createCDATASection( "Carrots are crunchy" );

$description->appendChild( $cdata );



//Output the XML document, encoding markup characters as needed

echo htmlspecialchars( $doc->saveXML() );



?>

      </pre>

    </body>

</html>

Thanks
