<para>
This functions appends a sibling to an existing node.
The child can be created with e.g.
<function>DomDocument_create_element</function>,
<function>DomDocument_create_text</function> etc. or simply by using any
other node.
</para>
<para>
Before a new sibling is added it is first duplicated. Therefore the new
child is a completely new copy which can be modified without changing the
node which was passed to this function. If the node passed has children
itself, they will be duplicated as well, which makes it quite easy to
duplicate large parts of a xml document. The return value is the
added sibling. If you plan to do further modifications on the added
sibling you must use the returned node.
</para>
<para>
This function has been added to provide the behaviour of
<function>DomNode_append_child</function> as it works till PHP 4.2.
