note 86258 added to class.domnode

How do you check if a DOMNode is still valid? $node->parentNode->removeChild($node); After that line, isset($node) == true (because $node is still an object of a type of DOMNode, just with no properties) I can do isset($node->nodeValue), but that results in a warning: Warning: Couldn't fetch DOMElement. Node no longer exists Is there a better way to check to see if a node is still valid? I would especially like one that doesnt result in a warning or notice. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 67.164.122.149 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.domnode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/86258 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86258/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86258/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86258/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86258/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86258/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86258/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86258 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/86258 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
