note 78214 added to function.dom-domnode-insertbefore

If you have been wondering why there is no "insertAfter" function, there is an easy trick to insert an element after another element: XML file: --------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <contacts> <person>Adam</person> <person>Thomas</person> </contacts> PHP Script: ----------- <?php // insert person "John" after person "Adam" $xml = DomDocument::load('contacts.xml'); $adam = $xml->getElementsBytagname('person')->item(0); $john = $xml->createElement('person', 'John'); $adam->parentNode->insertBefore($john, $adam); // show result header('Content-Type: text/plain'); print $xml->saveXML(); ?> Output: ------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <contacts> <person>John</person><person>Adam</person> <person>Thomas</person> </contacts> Reference: "XML Matters: Beyond the DOM" <http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-matters41.html> ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 69.12.130.153 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domnode-insertbefore.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78214 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78214/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78214/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78214/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78214/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78214/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78214/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78214 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78214 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
