Beispiele

The following example will delete the chapter element of our XML document.

Beispiel #1 Removing a child

<?php

$doc 
= new DOMDocument;
$doc->load('book.xml');

$book $doc->documentElement;

// we retrieve the chapter and remove it from the book
$chapter $book->getElementsByTagName('chapter')->item(0);
$oldchapter $book->removeChild($chapter);

echo 
$doc->saveXML();
?>

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN" 
          "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd">
<book id="listing">
 <title>My lists</title>
 
</book>

Beispiel #2 Preserving the parent node's namespace URI

<?php

$doc 
= new DOMDocument;
$doc->load('book.xml');

$book $doc->documentElement;

// we retrieve the chapter and remove it from the book
$chapter $book->getElementsByTagName('chapter')->item(0);

// copy the namespace URI
$nsuri $book->namespaceURI;

// Delete the child node
$book->removeChild($chapter);

// paste the namespace URI back into the parent node
$book->namespaceURI $nsuri;
?>

Anmerkungen

Hinweis:

After calling this method, the DOMNode::$namespaceURI property on the parent node will be reset to NULL. Above example shows how to work around it.
