note 84118 added to function.simplexml-element-addChild

Here's a handy workaround to accommodate the lack of a $xml->deleteChild() function. It's not perfect, but it's a start (and it works for what I'm using it for): <?php // Workaround by Kobra. http://www.kobrasrealm.net function simplexml_deleteChild($parent, $childname, $parentname) { $temp = simplexml_load_string(str_replace("#","?","<#xml version=\"1.0\"#>\n<".$parentname.">\n</".$parentname.">")); foreach($parent as $t) { if($t->getName() != $childname) { $name = $t->getName(); $value = eval("return \$parent->".$name.";"); $temp->addChild($t->getName(), $value); } } return $temp; } ?> I have not tested this with multi-level XML files; but like I said, it's a start. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 71.3.86.105 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-element-addChild.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84118 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84118/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84118/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84118/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84118/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84118/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84118/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84118 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84118 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
