note 84257 added to domnode.removechild

Note that iterating through the childNodes array and removing those children will stop the iteration. For example: foreach($node->childNodes as $child) { if(iWantToDeleteThisNode($child)) $child->parentNode->removeChild($child); } Will not work. Note that in removing the node, the childNodes array gets rebuilt (it seems) and so only the first item will be removed. In order to properly remove all the children you want to remove, you will need to do something like the following: $nodesToDelete = array(); foreach($node->childNodes as $child) { if(iWantToDeleteThisNode($child)) $nodesToDelete[] = $child; } foreach($nodesToDelete as $node) { $node->parentNode->removeChild($node); } I believe this is actually more efficient than the first snippet would be (if it worked) but obviously I cannot benchmark it. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 76.126.98.216 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/domnode.removechild.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84257 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84257/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84257/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84257/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84257/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84257/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84257/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84257 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84257 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
