Please see: Copying HTML from a document to another document http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=109419037409980&w=2 It has been more than two weeks without a reply. I suspect there is a bug in PHP. I assume the people looking at that list can't answer the question. Am I supposed to ask questions such as that in this list instead.?
Nope, file a bug report, if you think, it's a bug ;) But don't bother, it's not a bug. You have to use $DomDocuemnt->importNode(), if you want to copy a node from one document to another. See http://ch.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocument-importnode.php and the W3C docs.
I did try many things, including importNode. I did look at the documentation as much as I can. I looked at many other sites. I converted the PHP code to JavaScript, as I said in the other message. The JavaScript version does not need importNode. I have heard the "read the manual" song many times. Just saying look at the manual does not help. How do I use importNode to do this? The manual does not explain how and does not help me to understand how.

http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#Core-Document-importNode explains it all quite good. And it's no guarantee, that it works in php5, if it works in JS (the JS implementations aren't flawless ;) )

People seem so quick to criticize and slow to help.
