I'm having problems using DOMNode::insertBefore(). In both php 5.3.8 and 5.2.7, an exception is thrown when I'm trying to copy (and import) a node from one document in to another and inserting it in front of an existing node thusly : <?php $a = '<rootnodea><foo>foo content</foo></rootnodea>'; $b = '<rootnodeb><bar>bar content</bar></rootnodeb>'; $DOMDocumentA = new DOMDocument(); $DOMDocumentA->loadXML($a); $DOMDocumentB = new DOMDocument(); $DOMDocumentB->loadXML($b); $foo = $DOMDocumentA->getElementsByTagName('foo')->item(0); $bar = $DOMDocumentB->getElementsByTagName('bar')->item(0); $importedFoo = $DOMDocumentB->importNode($foo); $DOMDocumentB->insertBefore($importedFoo, $bar); echo $DOMDocumentA->saveXML(); echo "\n\n=========================\n\n"; echo $DOMDocumentB->saveXML(); /* Output for PHP 5.3.8 Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'DOMException' with message 'Not Found Error' in /Users/current_user/Desktop/domInsertBeforeTest.php:16 Stack trace: #0 /Users/jim/Desktop/domInsertBeforeTest.php(16): DOMNode->insertBefore(Object(DOMElement), Object(DOMElement)) #1 {main} thrown in /Users/current_user/Desktop/domInsertBeforeTest.php on line 16 */ ?> Taking the second domdocument out of the equation and doing it this way so that we are working with nodes within the same document : <?php $a = '<rootnodea><foo>foo content</foo></rootnodea>'; $b = '<rootnodeb><bar>bar content</bar><baz>baz content</baz></rootnodeb>'; $DOMDocumentA = new DOMDocument(); $DOMDocumentA->loadXML($a); $DOMDocumentB = new DOMDocument(); $DOMDocumentB->loadXML($b); $bar = $DOMDocumentB->getElementsByTagName('bar')->item(0); $baz = $DOMDocumentB->getElementsByTagName('baz')->item(0); // $importedFoo = $DOMDocumentB->importNode($foo); $DOMDocumentB->insertBefore($baz, $bar); echo $DOMDocumentA->saveXML(); echo "\n\n=========================\n\n"; echo $DOMDocumentB->saveXML(); /* Output for PHP 5.3.8 Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'DOMException' with message 'Not Found Error' in /Users/current_user/Desktop/domInsertBeforeTest.php:16 Stack trace: #0 /Users/jim/Desktop/domInsertBeforeTest.php(16): DOMNode->insertBefore(Object(DOMElement), Object(DOMElement)) #1 {main} thrown in /Users/current_user/Desktop/domInsertBeforeTest.php on line 16 */ ?> Throws the same exception. Is there a problem with DOMNode::insertBefore() in php5? thnx, Christoph -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
