The use of Dom to first remove and then add the width and height to the first img tag from the text.I hope it help you to save your time
<?php
$html = '

            <img src="http://www.example.com/images/header.jpg" width="898" height="223" style="border-bottom:5px solid #cccccc;"/>
        <img src="http://www.example.com/images/header2.jpg" width="898" height="223" style="border-bottom:5px solid #cccccc;"/>
        ';

$doc = DOMDocument::loadHTML($html);
$c =0;
foreach($doc->getElementsByTagName('img') as $image){
    if ($c>0) continue;
    foreach(array('width', 'height') as $attribute_to_remove){
        echo $attribute_to_remove;
        if($image->hasAttribute($attribute_to_remove)){
            $image->removeAttribute($attribute_to_remove);

        }
        if($attribute_to_remove=='height'){
            if(!$image->hasAttribute($attribute_to_remove)){
                $image->setAttribute($attribute_to_remove,'220');

            }}
        if($attribute_to_remove=='width'){
      if(!$image->hasAttribute($attribute_to_remove)){
            $image->setAttribute($attribute_to_remove,'700');

        }}
        $c = $c+1;
    }
}

Solution to render HTML 5 tags with attributes with/without value:
<?php
$dom = new DOMImplementation();
$doc = $dom->createDocument(null, 'html', $dom->createDocumentType('html'));

$tag = $doc->appendChild($doc->createElement('input'));
$tag->setAttribute('type', 'text');
$tag->setAttribute('disabled', '');

echo $doc->saveHTML($tag); // <input type="text" disabled="">

$doc->normalize(); // normalize attributes
echo $doc->saveHTML($tag); // <input type="text" disabled>
?>

If wanting to set an attribute of an element with unique id of "1"

<?php
$dom = new DomDocument();
$dom->load('test.xml');
$xp = new DomXPath($dom);
$res = $xp->query("//*[@id = '1']");
$res->item(0)->setAttribute('title','2');
$dom->save('test.xml');
?>

$dom = new DomDocument('1.0','iso-8859-15');

$ht_ml = $dom->appendChild($dom->createElement('html'));
$ht_ml->setAttribute('xmlns','http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml');
$ht_ml->setAttribute('xml:lang','fi');
$ht_ml->setAttribute('lang','fi');

Result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-15"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="fi" lang="fi">

@karvjorm,
Using this method is not exactly a good practice. Infact, I think it may be a bug.
Names beginning with "xml" are reserved (for namespaces in this case).
setAttribute() should return false in this case I think, but I suppose it doesn't.

Still, the right way to do it is with createElementNS().
It lets you specify the namespace when creating the element node.

So the equivalent to yours ($html added to allow word wrapping) is:

$dom = new DomDocument('1.0','iso-8859-15');
$html = $dom->createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml', 'html');
$ht_ml = $dom->appendChild($html);
$ht_ml->setAttribute('xml:lang','fi');
$ht_ml->setAttribute('lang','fi');
