note 101499 added to class.domnode

Beware when using $node->firstChild when trying to access the first child *element*. In some cases, the first child of your node may in fact be a DOMTextNode containing the whitespace between your node's opening tag and the opening tag of the first child element. You should generally be using XPath to find elements by name and position, and use $firstChild when you know for sure that it is the first DOMNode that you want. ---- Server IP: 92.48.74.199 Probable Submitter: 87.84.128.98 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.domnode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/101499 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101499/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101499/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101499/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101499/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101499/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101499/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101499 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/101499 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
