Code Examples / Notes » domdocument create element

When creating empty nodes like xhtml:link, the output misses the closing slash. This is what I got: <link ...>

The first example on this page is also a bit verbose. Since the DomElement class inherits/extends the DomNode class, one does not, in fact, have to get another reference to the first node. The create_element method has already given you that reference. (Also, the last line passes a string to the append_child method, instead of a DomNode object) Simplified: <? $new_element = $dom->create_element("new_element"); $new_element->append_child($another_element); $oldTag->append_child($new_element); ?>

The example done by Nico Almhoedi has a small error. Since append_child only accepts DomElement (which is an object), it should've been: $new_element = DomDocument->create_element("new_el"); $new_node = $existent_node->append_child($new_element);

Its important to remember, when adding a created element to an existing node using append_child(), that if you want to then add another element to that node you have to go back and set up a DOMNode instance using DOMDocument_get_elements_by_tagname or similar before you can append another node onto it. eg <? $new_element = $dom->create_element("new_element"); $oldTag->append_child($new_element); //Go back and set up new element as DOMNode $new_elementArray = $dom->get_elements_by_tagname("new_element"); $new_elementTag = $new_elementArray[0];//(if theres more than one use a for loop) $new_elementTag->append_child("another_new_element"); ?>

It's easier possible since DomNode->append_child($new_element) returns the new child as an object, so you can refer to it immediately. To append a child to the node $existent_node: $new_element = DomDocument->create_element("new_el"); $new_node = $existent_node->append_child("new_el"); see Manual DomNode->append_child()
