How can SimpleXML or DOMDocument be utilized in PHP to directly write XML files instead of using file_put_contents?

To directly write XML files using SimpleXML or DOMDocument in PHP instead of using file_put_contents, you can create a new XML document, add elements and attributes as needed, and then save the XML content to a file. 

// Using SimpleXML to write XML content to a file
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<root></root>');
$xml->addChild('element1', 'value1');
$xml->addChild('element2', 'value2');
$xml->asXML('output.xml');

// Using DOMDocument to write XML content to a file
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0');
$dom->formatOutput = true;
$root = $dom->createElement('root');
$element1 = $dom->createElement('element1', 'value1');
$element2 = $dom->createElement('element2', 'value2');
$root->appendChild($element1);
$root->appendChild($element2);
$dom->appendChild($root);
$dom->save('output.xml');
