note 108600 added to domnode.removechild

I needed to replace an element node with its children nodes. Had to figure out how to loop over a list I was destroying and insert at the right place. Also found out that insertBefore with null as second argument behaves same as without second argument, same as appendChild, which made code simpler. <?php // $node is the node to collapse // remember where to move children before we start changing parents link chain list $ref = $node->nextSibling; // loop over children by using the link chain, take care to use the next that existed before the move for ($child = $node->firstChild; $child !== null; $child = $next) { // remember the next sibling before we move child $next = $child->nextSibling; // move the child to before $ref in parent $node->parentNode->insertBefore($child, $ref); } // and finally remove node itself $node->parentNode->removeChild($node); ?> Hope this helps some one else how think when manipulating DOM trees. ---- Server IP: 212.63.222.76 Probable Submitter: 79.136.92.250 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/domnode.removechild.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/108600 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108600/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108600/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108600/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108600/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108600/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108600/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108600 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/108600 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
