domelement DomDocument->create_element_ns ( string $uri , string $name [, string $prefix ] )

This function returns a new instance of class DomElement. The tag name of the element is the value of the passed parameter name . The URI of the namespace is the value of the passed parameter uri . If there is already a namespace declaration with the same uri in the root-node of the document, the prefix of this is taken, otherwise it will take the one provided in the optional parameter prefix or generate a random one.

The return value is FALSE if an error occurred.
