When using function, try with str_replace('something', 'something "else"', $string);So use single quotes for arguments.If it won't work use then version=\"1.0\" etc.

You can either replace the tags with string functions, or you can use PHP's DOMDocument class.Replacing the strings is easy:

$result = str_ireplace('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>','<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="xsl_template_document"?>',$xmlString);

The only problem with it is that if you have extra spaces it won't be detected.If you use PHP's DOMDocument class you can use createProcessingInstruction() and insertBefore() to add the stylesheet.
