        $b->appendChild( $category);


        $contentencoded = $doc->createElement( "contentencoded" );
        $contentencoded->appendChild($doc->createTextNode( $opt->contentencoded ));
        $b->appendChild( $contentencoded);

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

but with title i need to pass the parametr category="book" author="ramk"

ie <title category="book" author="ramk">

how will i do it please help me

[Bob Hensley]

You'll want to create the attributes against the DOMDocument object. This is done with the DOMDocument::createAttribute method.

$cat = $doc->createAttribute ('category');
$author = $doc->createAttribute ('author');

$cat->value = 'book';
$author->value = 'ramk';

$title1->appendChild ($cat);
$title1->appendChild ($author);

What's happening is a DOMAttr object is being instantiated for each attribute you'll utilize. You then set the value property of each attribute, as necessary, and append it to the element you want it applied to.

[Bob Hensley]

I can't seem to edit my post, but I did want to mention one other thing:

The value can be set via the DOMAttr's constructor. Afterwards you can then directly access the value property to change it, if need be.

Example of setting value via constructor
$attr = $domDoc->createAttribute ('name', 'my value');
