note 48485 added to function.dom-domnode-replacechild

Here is a simple example for replacing a node: Let's define our XML like so: <?php $xml = <<<XML <?xml version="1.0"?> <root> <parent> <child>bar</child> <child>foo</child> </parent> </root> XML; ?> If we wanted to replace the entire <parent> node, we could do something like this: <?php // Create a new document fragment to hold the new <parent> node $parent = new DomDocument; $parent_node = $parent ->createElement('parent'); // Add some children $parent_node->appendChild($parent->createElement('child', 'somevalue')); $parent_node->appendChild($parent->createElement('child', 'anothervalue')); // Add the keywordset into the new document // The $parent variable now holds the new node as a document fragment $parent->appendChild($parent_node); ?> Next, we need to locate the old node: <?php // Load the XML $dom = new DomDocument; $dom->loadXML($xml); // Locate the old parent node $xpath = new DOMXpath($dom); $nodelist = $xpath->query('/root/parent'); $oldnode = $nodelist->item(0); ?> We then import and replace the new node: <?php // Load the $parent document fragment into the current document $newnode = $dom->importNode($parent->documentElement, true); // Replace $oldnode->parentNode->replaceChild($newnode, $oldnode); // Display echo $dom->saveXML(); ?> Our new node is successfully imported: <?xml version="1.0"?> <root> <parent><child>somevalue</child><child>anothervalue</child></parent> </root> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domnode-replacechild.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48485 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48485&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48485&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48485&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48485&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48485&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48485&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48485&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
