Setting a string value to SimpleXMLElement

Question

How do I set Moo to the element, like this:

$xmlEl = new SimpleXMLElement('<Get>Moo</Get>');

If I initialised the element like this instead:

$xmlEl = new SimpleXMLElement('<Get></Get>');

It's something ridiculously simple. But I know it's neither addAttribute() nor addChild().

Thanks in advance

Set value of the root element:

<?php $xmlEl = new SimpleXMLElement('<Get></Get>'); $xmlEl[0] = 'Moo'; ?>
