note 61803 added to function.domnode-append-child

As of version 4.3 PHP doesn't support Appending a child from another source document. If you are trying to import information from multiple sources into a final document [for transformation using XSL as an example] then you can have problems. This technique can be used to do it though. I am assuming you have two documents open, $xmldoc1 and $xmldoc2 and you have selected [via XPath or explicit searching] the nodes you want in each document. Thus $xmldoc1_appending_node is the node you would like to add $xmldoc2_importnode to. <? // first we create a temporary node within the document we want to add to. $temp_importnode = $xmldoc1->create_element("import"); // now we have a node that is in the right document context we can clone the one we want into this one. $temp_importnode = $xmldoc_importnode->clone_node(true); // by using true in the above call to clone_node() we copy all of the child nodes as well. Use false or nothing if you just want the containing node with no children. $xmldoc1_appending->append_child($importnode); ?> Now your document contains the new nodes imported from a different document. ---- Server IP: 64.246.30.37 Probable Submitter: 80.1.224.9 (proxied: 82.22.1.116) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.domnode-append-child.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61803 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61803&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61803&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61803&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61803&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61803&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61803&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61803&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61803&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
