note 18929 deleted from ref.domxml by sniper

Note Submitter: apinstein@mac.NOSPAM.com ---- Hopefully this will help anyone who had as much trouble as I have using domxml across different PHP versions... I am using 4.1.1 now, with libxml2-2.4.13. It seems that the way the XML tree is represented has changed from 4.06/libxml2-2.3.14 to use multple node types. I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to get to the TAGNAME and CONTENT data for my XML tree... but I figured it out and wanted to share: function getNodeContent($name) { $child_a = domxml_children(domxml_root($doc)); foreach ($child_a as $node) { if ($node->tagname() == $name) { // the CONTENT of a node is in the content field of a // CHILD node of the tag name. // <NODE>DATA</NODE> is actually a NODE element // object with a TEXT element object as its only child. // THe child TEXT element has the content field with // the actual content. // it helps a LOT to do a print_r(xmltree($xml)) and // look at this as HTML SOURCE because it's nicely indented $content_a = domxml_children($node); return $content_a[0]->content; } } }
