I am trying to modify a node name and it mostly works, except that
appendChild seems to strip the text that FOLLOWS after a subnode.
Leading text and subnodes appear to be retained perfectly, just not text
trailing the subnode. I tried using cloneNode, but that discarded the
children even when I sent "true" as an argument.
$html='<div>div1 <b>bold1 <i>italic1<u>underline1</u></i> bold2</b>
div2<b>bold3</b> <u>underline</u></div>';
$dom = new DomDocument;
$dom->loadHTML($html);
$nodes = $dom->getElementsByTagName('b');
foreach ($nodes as $oldNode) {
$newNode = $dom->createElement('strong');
foreach($oldNode->childNodes as $thisOldNode) {
if ($thisOldNode->nodeName == '#text') {
$newNode->nodeValue .= $thisOldNode->nodeValue;
} else {
// ---- appendChild seems to cause the issue ---- //
$newNode->appendChild($thisOldNode);
}
}
$oldNode->parentNode->replaceChild($newNode, $oldNode);
}
//for debugging:
echo nl2br(htmlentities($html)) . '<hr />';
echo nl2br(htmlentities(str_replace(array('<body>', '</body>',
'</html>'), '', strstr($dom->saveXML(), '<body>'))));
/*
Should return:
<div>div1 <strong>bold1 <i>italic1<u>underline1</u></i> bold2</strong>
div2<b>bold3</b> <u>underline</u></div>
Instead returns:
<div>div1 <strong>bold1 <i>italic1<u>underline1</u></i></strong>
div2<b>bold3</b> <u>underline</u></div>
*/
