note 74022 deleted from function.domdocument-create-element by bobby

Note Submitter: bjb6371 at rit dot edu ---- When creating a new element such that $newElement = $dom->create_element ( "string" ); and passing it through print_r it outputs the indexes "type", "tagname", 0, and 1 If I pass a node obtained through $dom->get_elements_by_tagname() into print_r it also outputs the "attributes" and "children" indexes continuing down all child trees until only leaf nodes remain Why would creating a node not have either of these indexes, or rather, why would you still be able to access appended children and still not have an index exist?
