There are twelve node types in the DOMDocument tree. You can add new nodes to the tree with the createNode() method, a member of the DOMDocument object. The first parameter of createNode() is the node type. Out of the 12 node types, you can create nodes for only eight:
1. "element"
  • 2. "attribute"
  • 3. "text"
  • 4. "cdatasection"
  • 5. "entityreference"
  • 7. "processinginstruction"
  • 8. "comment"
  • 11. "documentfragment"

    There are four node types you cannot create:

    • 6. "entity"
    • 9. "document"
    • 10. "documenttype"
    • 12. "notation"
