note 86258 rejected from class.domnode by danbrown

Note Submitter: josh at coady dot us ---- 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.
