note 108112 added to class.simplexmlelement

Here is a more namespace-aware version of the earlier function for attaching one SimpleXMLElement to another. I'm sure it could still be further improved (right now it generates some redundant xmlns definitions), but it seems to be working well enough for my purposes so far. function SimpleXMLElement_append($parent, $child) { // get all namespaces for document $namespaces = $child->getNamespaces(true); // check if there is a default namespace for the current node $currentNs = $child->getNamespaces(); $defaultNs = count($currentNs) > 0 ? current($currentNs) : null; $prefix = (count($currentNs) > 0) ? current(array_keys($currentNs)) : ''; $childName = strlen($prefix) > 1 ? $prefix . ':' . $child->getName() : $child->getName(); // check if the value is string value / data if (trim((string) $child) == '') { $element = $parent->addChild($childName, null, $defaultNs); } else { $element = $parent->addChild( $childName, htmlspecialchars((string)$child), $defaultNs ); } foreach ($child->attributes() as $attKey => $attValue) { $element->addAttribute($attKey, $attValue); } foreach ($namespaces as $nskey => $nsurl) { foreach ($child->attributes($nsurl) as $attKey => $attValue) { $element->addAttribute($nskey . ':' . $attKey, $attValue, $nsurl); } } // add children -- try with namespaces first, but default to all children // if no namespaced children are found. $children = 0; foreach ($namespaces as $nskey => $nsurl) { foreach ($child->children($nsurl) as $currChild) { SimpleXMLElement_append($element, $currChild); $children++; } } if ($children == 0) { foreach ($child->children() as $currChild) { SimpleXMLElement_append($element, $currChild); } } } ---- Server IP: 192.41.42.26 Probable Submitter: 153.104.168.157 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.simplexmlelement.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/108112 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108112/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108112/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108112/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108112/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108112/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108112/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108112 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/108112 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
