# The DOMDocumentType class

(PHP 5, PHP 7)

## Introduction

Each DOMDocument has a doctype attribute whose value is either `NULL` or a DOMDocumentType object.

## Properties

publicId

  The public identifier of the external subset.

systemId

  The system identifier of the external subset. This may be an absolute URI or not.

name

  The name of DTD; i.e., the name immediately following the DOCTYPE keyword.

entities

  A DOMNamedNodeMap containing the general entities, both external and internal, declared in the DTD.

notations

  A DOMNamedNodeMap containing the notations declared in the DTD.

internalSubset

  The internal subset as a string, or null if there is none. This does not contain the delimiting square brackets.
