Consider the following test code:
<script language="php">
$doc = domxml_new_doc( '1.0' );
$baseDocument = domxml_new_doc( '1.0' );
$domNode = $doc->create_element( 'Node' );
$node = $doc->create_element( 'NodeChild' );
$textNode = $doc->create_text_node( 'this' );
$node->append_child( $textNode );
$domNode->append_child( $node );
$doc->append_child( $domNode );
$node = $doc->create_element( 'AnotherNode' );
$childNode = $doc->create_element( 'AnotherNodeChild' );
$textNode = $doc->create_text_node( 'that' );
$childNode->append_child( $textNode );
$node->append_child( $childNode );
$domNode->append_child( $node );
$doc->append_child( $domNode );
$elements = $doc->get_elements_by_tagname( '*' );
$element = $elements[0];
$child = $element->first_child();
while( $child ) {
$baseDocument->append_child( $child );
$child = $child->next_sibling();
}
</script>
When I run it, I am presented with the error:
Warning: append_child(): Can't append node, which is in a different document
than the parent node in test_dom.php on line 31
Is there any way I can copy an element from one DOM document to another
without having to dissect the original node/element and create a new
node/element
from scratch using the new DOM document and append to it?
thnx,
Chris
