How can I strip the first line from DOMDocument->saveXML()

    I am coding a lightweight controller that outputs XML. I'm currently trialling the DOMDocument object and using its saveXML() method. Only problem is that I want the XML inserted as a segment in the main XML file. But, the saveXML() includes <?xml version="1.0"?> on the first line and I don't want it.

    I also don't want to do something like: 
    $doc = new DOMDocument('1.0');
// add stuff to $dom, possibly resulting in a very large document

$xml = $doc->saveXML();
$xml = substr($xml, strpos($xml, "\n"));
// or...
substr($doc->saveXML(), strpos($doc->saveXML(), "\n"));
    PHP:
    Anyone got any ideas to do this? Preferably without requiring extra server load...

    Thanks in advance :)

$doc = new DOMDocument("1.0");
$xml = $doc->saveXML( );
$xml = substr( $xml, strpos( $xml, "\n") );
    PHP:
    That works and is less server load the saving the xml twice

    Yes, I don't know why I included the alternative :p
    But I'm trying to figure out a way to do this without doing either of those, not that I seem to have much choice.
