note 85165 added to function.dom-domdocument-savehtml

This method, as of 5.2.6, will automatically add <html><body> and <!DOCTYPE> tags to the document if they are missing, without asking whether you want them. In my application, I needed to use the DOM methods to manipulate just a fragment of html, so these tags were rather unhelpful. Here's a simple hack to remove them in case, like me, all you wanted to do was perform a few operations on an HTML fragment. $html_fragment = preg_replace('/^<!DOCTYPE.+?>/', '', str_replace( array('<html>', '</html>', '<body>', '</body>'), array('', '', '', ''), $dom->saveHTML())); ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 98.172.154.66 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocument-savehtml.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85165 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85165/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85165/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85165/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85165/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85165/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85165/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85165 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85165 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
