DomDocument->create_element_ns
When creating empty nodes like xhtml:link, the output misses the closing slash. This is what I got:
<link ...>
DomDocument->create_element

DomDocument->create_element — Crea un nodo elemento
Descrizione
La funzione restituisce una nuova istanza della classe DomElement. Il nome del tag dell'elemento viene passato tramite il parametro. Questo nodo non sarà presente nel documento fino a quando non viene inserito con funzioni tipo domnode_append_child().
La funzione restituisce FALSE se si verifica un errore.
Vedere anche domdocument_create_element_ns(), domnode_append_child(), domdocument_create_text(), domdocument_create_comment(), domdocument_create_attribute(), domdocument_create_processing_instruction(), domdocument_create_entity_reference() e domnode_insert_before().

The first example on this page is also a bit verbose. Since the DomElement class inherits/extends the DomNode class, one does not, in fact, have to get another reference to the first node. The create_element method has already given you that reference. (Also, the last line passes a string to the append_child method, instead of a DomNode object) Simplified:
<?
$new_element = $dom->create_element("new_element");
$new_element->append_child($another_element);
$oldTag->append_child($new_element);
?>

The example done by Nico Almhoedi has a small error.
Since append_child only accepts DomElement (which is an object), it should've been:
$new_element = DomDocument->create_element("new_el");
$new_node = $existent_node->append_child($new_element);

It's easier possible since DomNode->append_child($new_element) returns the new child as an object, so you can refer to it immediately.
To append a child to the node $existent_node:
$new_element = DomDocument->create_element("new_el");
$new_node = $existent_node->append_child("new_el");
see Manual DomNode->append_child()

Its important to remember, when adding a created element to an existing node using append_child(), that if you want to then add another element to that node you have to go back and set up a DOMNode instance using DOMDocument_get_elements_by_tagname or similar before you can append another node onto it.
eg
<?
$new_element = $dom->create_element("new_element");
$oldTag->append_child($new_element);
//Go back and set up new element as DOMNode
$new_elementArray = $dom->get_elements_by_tagname("new_element");
$new_elementTag = $new_elementArray[0];//(if theres more than one use a for loop)
$new_elementTag->append_child("another_new_element");
?>
