Propriétés

nodeName

Retourne le nom, le plus précis, pour le type de nœud courant

nodeValue

La valeur de ce nœud, suivant son type. Contrairement aux spécifications W3C, la valeur du nœud des nœuds DOMElement est égale à DOMNode::textContent au lieu de null.

nodeType

Récupère le type du nœud. Une des constantes XML_xxx_NODE

parentNode

Le parent de ce nœud. Si ce type de nœud n'existe pas, ceci retournera null.

parentElement

L'élément pare de cet élément. S'il n'y a pas de tel élément, ceci retourne null.

childNodes

Un DOMNodeList qui contient tous les enfants de ce nœud. S'il n'y a aucun enfant, ce sera un DOMNodeList vide.

firstChild

Le premier enfant de ce nœud. S'il n'y a aucun nœud de ce type, retourne null.

lastChild

Le dernier enfant de ce nœud. S'il n'y a aucun nœud de ce type, retourne null.

previousSibling

Le nœud précédant immédiatement ce nœud. S'il n'y a aucun nœud, retourne null.

nextSibling

Le nœud suivant immédiatement ce nœud. S'il n'y a aucun nœud, retourne null.

attributes

Un DOMNamedNodeMap contenant les attributs de ce nœud (si c'est un DOMElement) ou null sinon.

isConnected

Si le nœud est connecté à un document ou non

ownerDocument

L'objet DOMDocument associé avec ce nœud, ou null si ce nœud est un DOMDocument.

namespaceURI

L'espace de nom de l'URL pour ce nœud, ou null s'il n'est pas spécifié.

prefix

Le préfixe de l'espace de nom de ce nœud.

localName

Retourne la partie locale du nom qualifié du nœud.

baseURI

La base de l'URL absolue du nœud, ou null si l'implémentation n'a pas réussi à obtenir l'URL absolue.

textContent

Le contenu textuel de ce nœud et de ces descendants.

Historique

Version Description
8.3.0 Les propriétés DOMNode::$parentElement, et DOMNode::$isConnected ont été ajouté.
8.0.0 Les méthodes non implémentées DOMNode::compareDocumentPosition(), DOMNode::isEqualNode(), DOMNode::getFeature(), DOMNode::setUserData() et DOMNode::getUserData() ont été supprimées.

Notes

Note:

L'extension DOM utilise l'encodage UTF-8. Utilisez mb_convert_encoding(), UConverter::transcode(), ou iconv() pour manipuler d'autres encodages.

It took me forever to find a mapping for the XML_*_NODE constants. So I thought, it'd be handy to paste it here:

1 XML_ELEMENT_NODE
2 XML_ATTRIBUTE_NODE
3 XML_TEXT_NODE
4 XML_CDATA_SECTION_NODE
5 XML_ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE
6 XML_ENTITY_NODE
7 XML_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE
8 XML_COMMENT_NODE
9 XML_DOCUMENT_NODE
10 XML_DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE
11 XML_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE
12 XML_NOTATION_NODE

You cannot simply overwrite $textContent, to replace the text content of a DOMNode, as the missing readonly flag suggests. Instead you have to do something like this:

<?php

$node
->removeChild($node->firstChild);
$node->appendChild(new DOMText('new text content'));

?>

This example shows what happens:

<?php

$doc
= DOMDocument::loadXML('<node>old content</node>');
$node = $doc->getElementsByTagName('node')->item(0);
echo
"Content 1: ".$node->textContent."\n";

$node->textContent = 'new content';
echo
"Content 2: ".$node->textContent."\n";

$newText = new DOMText('new content');

$node->appendChild($newText);
echo
"Content 3: ".$node->textContent."\n";

$node->removeChild($node->firstChild);
$node->appendChild($newText);
echo
"Content 4: ".$node->textContent."\n";

?>

The output is:

Content 1: old content // starting content
Content 2: old content // trying to replace overwriting $node->textContent
Content 3: old contentnew content // simply appending the new text node
Content 4: new content // removing firstchild before appending the new text node

If you want to have a CDATA section, use this:

<?php
$doc
= DOMDocument::loadXML('<node>old content</node>');
$node = $doc->getElementsByTagName('node')->item(0);
$node->removeChild($node->firstChild);
$newText = $doc->createCDATASection('new cdata content');
$node->appendChild($newText);
echo
"Content withCDATA: ".$doc->saveXML($node)."\n";
?>

For clarification:
The assumingly 'discoverd' by previous posters and seemingly undocumented methods (.getElementsByTagName and .getAttribute) on this class (DOMNode) are in fact methods of the class DOMElement, which inherits from DOMNode.

See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.domelement.php

This class apparently also has a getElementsByTagName method.

I was able to confirm this by evaluating the output from DOMNodeList->item() against various tests with the is_a() function.

This class has a getAttribute method.

Assume that a DOMNode object $ref contained an anchor taken out of a DOMNode List.  Then

    $url = $ref->getAttribute('href');

would isolate the url associated with the href part of the anchor.

The issues around mixed content took me some experimentation to remember, so I thought I'd add this note to save others time.

When your markup is something like: <div><p>First text.</p><ul><li><p>First bullet</p></li></ul></div>, you'll get XML_ELEMENT_NODEs that are quite regular. The <div> has children <p> and <ul> and the nodeValue for both <p>s yields the text you expect.

But when your markup is more like <p>This is <b>bold</b> and this is <i>italic</i>.</p>, you realize that the nodeValue for XML_ELEMENT_NODEs is not reliable. In this case, you need to look at the <p>'s child nodes. For this example, the <p> has children: #text, <b>, #text, <i>, #text.

In this example, the nodeValue of <b> and <i> is the same as their #text children. But you could have markup like: <p>This <b>is bold and <i>bold italic</i></b>, you see?</p>. In this case, you need to look at the children of <b>, which will be #text, <i>, because the nodeValue of <b> will not be sufficient.

XML_TEXT_NODEs have no children and are always named '#text'. Depending on how whitespace is handled, your tree may have "empty" #text nodes as children of <body> and elsewhere.

Attributes are nodes, but I had forgotten that they are not in the tree expressed by childNodes. Walking the full tree using childNodes will not visit any attribute nodes.

Yet another DOMNode to php array conversion function.
Other ones on this page are generating too "complex" arrays; this one should keep the array as tidy as possible.
Note: make sure to set LIBXML_NOBLANKS when calling DOMDocument::load, loadXML or loadHTML
See: http://be2.php.net/manual/en/libxml.constants.php
See: http://be2.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.loadxml.php

<?php
        
/**
         * Returns an array representation of a DOMNode
         * Note, make sure to use the LIBXML_NOBLANKS flag when loading XML into the DOMDocument
         * @param DOMDocument $dom
         * @param DOMNode $node
         * @return array
         */
       
function nodeToArray( $dom, $node) {
            if(!
is_a( $dom, 'DOMDocument' ) || !is_a( $node, 'DOMNode' )) {
                return
false;
            }
           
$array = false;
            if( empty(
trim( $node->localName ))) {// Discard empty nodes
               
return false;
            }
            if(
XML_TEXT_NODE == $node->nodeType ) {
                return
$node->nodeValue;
            }
            foreach (
$node->attributes as $attr) {
               
$array['@'.$attr->localName] = $attr->nodeValue;
            }
            foreach (
$node->childNodes as $childNode) {
                if (
1 == $childNode->childNodes->length && XML_TEXT_NODE == $childNode->firstChild->nodeType ) {
                   
$array[$childNode->localName] = $childNode->nodeValue;
                }  else {
                    if(
false !== ($a = self::nodeToArray( $dom, $childNode))) {
                       
$array[$childNode->localName] =     $a;
                    }
                }
            }
            return
$array;

In response to: alastair dot dallas at gmail dot com about "#text" nodes.
"#text" nodes appear when there are spaces or new lines between end tag and next initial tag.

Eg "<data><age>10</age>[SPACES]<other>20</other>[SPACES]</data>"

"data" childNodes has 4 childs:
- age = 10
- #text = spaces
- other = 20
- #text =  spaces

And apparently also a setAttribute method too:

$node->setAttribute( 'attrName' , 'value' );

Here is a little function that truncates a DomNode to a specified number of text characters. I use it to generate HTML excerpts for my blog entries.

<?php

function makehtmlexcerpt(DomNode $html, $excerptlength)
{
$remove = 0;
$htmllength = strlen(html_entity_decode($html->textContent, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'));
$truncate = $htmllength - $excerptlength;
if(
$htmllength > $excerptlength)
{
if(
$html->hasChildNodes())
{
$children = $html->childNodes;
for(
$counter = 0; $counter < $children->length; $counter ++)
{
$child = $children->item($children->length - ($counter + 1));
$childlength = strlen(html_entity_decode($child->textContent, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'));
if(
$childlength <= $truncate)
{
$remove ++;
$truncate = $truncate - $childlength;
}
else
{
$child = makehtmlexcerpt($child, $childlength - $truncate);
break;
}
}
if(
$remove != 0)
{
for(
$counter = 0; $counter < $remove; $counter ++)
{
$html->removeChild($html->lastChild);
}
}
}
else
{
if(
$html->nodeName == '#text')
{
$html->nodeValue = substr(html_entity_decode($html->nodeValue, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'), 0, $htmllength - $truncate);
}
}
}
return
$html;
}

?>

It would be helpful if docs for concrete properties mentioned readonly status of some properties:
"
ownerDocument

    The DOMDocument object associated with this node.

A function that can set the inner HTML without encoding error. $html can be broken content such as "<a ID=id20>ssss"
function setInnerHTML($node, $html) {
    removeChildren($node);
    if (empty($html)) {
        return;
    }
  
    $doc = $node->ownerDocument;
    $htmlclip = new DOMDocument();
    $htmlclip->loadHTML('<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"><div>' . $html . '</div>');
    $clipNode = $doc->importNode($htmlclip->documentElement->lastChild->firstChild, true);
    while ($item = $clipNode->firstChild) {
        $node->appendChild($item);
    }
}
