note 76838 added to ref.dom

In response to lutfi at smartconsultant dot us : (see my post on http://fr2.php.net/manual/en/ function.dom-domdocument-getelementsbytagname.php ) Use this class I wrote: class XPathableNode extends DOMNode { protected $Node; protected $DOMDocument_from_node; protected $DOMXpath_for_node; public function __construct(/* DOMNode */ $node) { $this->Node=$node; $this->DOMDocument_from_node=new DomDocument(); $domNode=$this->DOMDocument_from_node ->importNode($this->Node, true); $this->DOMDocument_from_node ->appendChild($domNode); $this->DomXpath_for_node = new Domxpath($this-> DOMDocument_from_node); } public function convertHTML() { return $this->DOMDocument_from_node ->saveHTML(); } public /*DomNodeList*/ function applyXpath($xpath) { return $this->DomXpath_for_node ->query($xpath); } } (sorry for the display... What a terrible hinderance on the part of php.net !) Then : Make a new XPathableNode out of your parent node. You may then retrieve a DOMNodeList from it by applying a xpath (thus being able to specify the depth and name of elements you want). Has got me around some (of the many) DOM awkwardnesses a few times. ;o) ---- Server IP: 217.174.196.197 Probable Submitter: 194.153.88.6 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dom.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/76838 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76838/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76838/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76838/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76838/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76838/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76838/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76838 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/76838 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
