xmlWriterStartElement

SYNOPSIS

    int xmlWriterStartElement(xmlWriter writer, string name
            [, string prefix [, string URI]] )

Parameters:

• writer - the xmlWriter

• name - the name of the new element

• prefix (optional) - the namespace prefix to use for this element. Default is no prefix.

• URI (optional) - declare the prefix namespace to be URI

Returns:

• the bytes written (may be 0 because of buffering) or -1 in case of error

DESCRIPTION
xmlWriterStartElement() starts a new element in writer. If this will be a simple 'start element-write content-end element' pattern, you can do it with one call to xmlWriterWriteElement() instead.

EXAMPLE

    <$ret = (xmlWriterStartElement($writer, 'item'))>
