DOMDocument::createCDATASection — Create new cdata node
This function creates a new instance of class DOMCDATASection. 此节点出现在文档中,除非是用诸如 DOMNode->appendChild() 等函数来将其插入。

Here's some code that takes an associative array and prints it asXML() but creates CDATA sections for each string
<?php
class SimpleXMLExtended extends SimpleXMLElement{
public function addCData($string){
$dom = dom_import_simplexml($this);
$cdata = $dom->ownerDocument->createCDATASection($string);
$dom->appendChild($cdata);
}
}
function assocArrayToXML($root_element_name,$ar){
$xml = new SimpleXMLExtended("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><{$root_element_name}></{$root_element_name}>");
$f = create_function('$f,$c,$a','
foreach($a as $k=>$v) {
if(is_array($v)) {
if (!is_numeric($k))$ch=$c->addChild($k);
else $ch = $c->addChild(substr($c->getName(),0,-1));
$f($f,$ch,$v);
} else {
if (is_numeric($v)){ $c->addChild($k, $v);
}else{$n = $c->addChild($k); $n->addCData($v);}
}
}');
$f($f,$xml,$ar);
return $xml->asXML();
}
/* sample */
$result = array("title"=>"CDATA Sample");
$result['items'] = array();
$result['items'][] = array('title'=>'Some string', 'number' => 1);
$result['items'][] = array('title'=>'Some string', 'number' => 2);
$result['items'][] = array('title'=>'Some string', 'number' => 3);
echo assocArrayToXML('result',$result);
?>
The is_numeric check could be changed by a more elaborate regular expression to check if the string is actually xml unsafe but this worked for me.

If you would like to refer to the documentation for the class of the returned object, see http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.domcharacterdata.php

A common issue seems to be adding javascript to CDATA and the browser throwing a javascript error. To ensure the javascript works use the following code when adding CDATA:
<?php
/**
* Append Caracter Data to a node and check for a javascript node
*
* @param DOMElement $appendToNode
* @param string $text
*/
function appendCdata($appendToNode, $text)
{
if (strtolower($appendToNode->nodeName) == 'script') { // Javascript hack
$cm = $appendToNode->ownerDocument->createTextNode("\n//");
$ct = $appendToNode->ownerDocument->createCDATASection("\n" . $text . "\n//");
$appendToNode->appendChild($cm);
$appendToNode->appendChild($ct);
} else { // Normal CDATA node
$ct = $appendToNode->ownerDocument->createCDATASection($text);
$appendToNode->appendChild($ct);
}
}
?>
The result should be:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function someJsText() {
document.write('Some js with <a href="#">HTML</a> content');
}
//]]></script>

Here's a function that will create a CDATA-section around a string coming from SimpleXML.
<?php
function sxml_cdata($path, $string){
$dom = dom_import_simplexml($path);
$cdata = $dom->ownerDocument->createCDATASection($string);
$dom->appendChild($cdata);
}
?>
