note 66996 added to function.dom-import-simplexml

I've found that newer versions of PHP5 require some special syntax in order to properly convert between SimpleXML and DOM. It's not as easy as calling dom_import_simplexml() with a SimpleXML node. To get a proper DOM document (which you need to do most things) you need: <?php //$xml is a SimpleXML instance $domnode = dom_import_simplexml($xml); $dom = new DOMDocument(); $domnode = $dom->importNode($domnode, true); $dom->appendChild($domnode); ?> Switching back, though, is, well...simple. <?php //$dom is a DOMDocument instance $xml = simplexml_import_dom($dom); ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 70.198.47.29 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-import-simplexml.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/66996 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66996/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66996/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66996/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66996/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66996/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66996/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66996 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/66996 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
