note 105472 added to class.domdocumentfragment

@Ricky: since a document fragment is a node, the behavior you describe is consistent (nodes without a document are read-only and cannot be inserted into a document tree before being imported). You can add a fragment created with new to a document using DOMDocument::importNode. However this is of little practical use in part because importNode creates a new node rather than altering the existing one. The other reason this helps little is the one you describe: the document fragment will be read-only until imported. <?php $fragment = new DOMDocumentFragment(); $fragment = $doc->importNode($fragment); ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 174.30.41.72 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.domdocumentfragment.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105472 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105472/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105472/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105472/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105472/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105472/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105472/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105472 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105472 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
