DomNode->insert_before Inserts new node as child Description objectDomNode->insert_before objectnewnode objectrefnode This function inserts the new node newnode right before the node refnode. The return value is the inserted node. If you plan to do further modifications on the appended child you must use the returned node. (PHP >= 4.3 only) If newnode already is part of a document, it will be first unlinked from its existing context. If refnode is NULL, then newnode will be inserted at the end of the list of children. domnode_insert_before is very similar to domnode_append_child as the following example shows which does the same as the example at domnode_append_child. Adding a child get_elements_by_tagname("informaltable"); print_r($elements); $element = $elements[0]; $newnode = $element->insert_before($element, $element); $children = $newnode->children(); $attr = $children[1]->set_attribute("align", "left"); echo "
";
$xmlfile = $dom->dump_mem();
echo htmlentities($xmlfile);
echo "
"; ?> ]]> See also domnode_append_child.
