note 72750 added to function.simplexml-element-addchild

Rob Richards and I have come up with a very easy way to append one SimpleXML tree to another: <?php function simplexml_append(SimpleXMLElement $parent, SimpleXMLElement $new_child){ $node1 = dom_import_simplexml($parent); $dom_sxe = dom_import_simplexml($new_child); $node2 = $node1->ownerDocument->importNode($dom_sxe, true); $node1->appendChild($node2); } ?> And adding a textnode is also easy: <?php //$sxe1 (refers to SimpleXMLElement) $node1 = dom_import_simplexml($sxe1); $node1->appendChild(new DOMText("my text")); ?> Ofcourse, you could use this to extend the SimpleXMLElement class and overwrite and improve the existing addChild function. Have fun, Luuk Peters. ---- Server IP: 194.109.193.94 Probable Submitter: 145.99.160.156 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-element-addchild.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72750 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72750/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72750/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72750/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72750/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72750/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72750/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72750 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72750 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
