note 50500 added to function.dom-domnode-replacechild

About the problem of replacing more than one child, there is an easier solution than what <roland dot swingler at transversal dot com> proposed. Instead of a normal iteration, just use a regressive loop. <?php $xml = new DOMDocument; $xml->load('docfile.xml'); $elements = $xml->getElementsByTagNameNS('http://www.example.com/NS/', '*'); $i = $elements->length - 1; while ($i > -1) { $element = $elements->item($i); $ignore = false; $newelement = $xml>createTextNode('Some new node!'); $element->parentNode->replaceChild($newelement, $element); $i--; } ?> The loop counter ($i) will always be in the list's interval as removed elements indexes are above the counter. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domnode-replacechild.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50500 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50500&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50500&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50500&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50500&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50500&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50500&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
