Basic XMLWriter::startAttribute Usage

php

<?php
$writer = new XMLWriter;
$writer->openURI('php://output');
$writer->startDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$writer->startElement('element');
$writer->startAttribute('attribute');
$writer->text('value');
$writer->endAttribute();
$writer->endElement();
$writer->endDocument();

The above example will output something similar to:

output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<element attribute="value"/>
