note 82021 added to function.dom-domdocument-createcdatasection

A common issue seems to be adding javascript to CDATA and the browser throwing a javascript error. To ensure the javascript works use the following code when adding CDATA: <?php /** * Append Caracter Data to a node and check for a javascript node * * @param DOMElement $appendToNode * @param string $text */ function appendCdata($appendToNode, $text) { if (strtolower($appendToNode->nodeName) == 'script') { // Javascript hack $cm = $appendToNode->ownerDocument->createTextNode("\n//"); $ct = $appendToNode->ownerDocument->createCDATASection("\n" . $text . "\n//"); $appendToNode->appendChild($cm); $appendToNode->appendChild($ct); } else { // Normal CDATA node $ct = $appendToNode->ownerDocument->createCDATASection($text); $appendToNode->appendChild($ct); } } ?> The result should be: <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ function someJsText() { document.write('Some js with <a href="#">HTML</a> content'); } //]]></script> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 203.31.115.75 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocument-createcdatasection.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82021 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82021/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82021/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82021/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82021/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82021/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82021/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82021 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82021 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
