note 83559 added to domnode.appendchild

What's not mentioned here is that DOMNode::appendChild() can also be used to move an existing node to another part of the DOMDocument, e.g. <?php $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->loadXML("<foobar><bar/><foo/></foobar>"); $bar = $doc->documentElement->firstChild; $foo = $doc->documentElement->lastChild; $foo->appendChild($bar); print $doc->saveXML(); ?> This produces: <?xml version="1.0"?> <foobar><foo><bar/></foo></foobar> Note that the nodes "<foo/>" and "<bar/>" were siblings, i.e. the first and last child of "<foobar>" but using appendChild() we were able to move "<bar/>" so that it is a child of "<foo/>". This saves you the trouble of doing a DOMNode::removeChild($bar) to remove "<bar/>" before appending it as a child of "<foo/>".
