Inserting Nodes between Nodes

**empiresolutions** · 04:55 AM

Hi,

XML novice here with another question. I need to add a XML node like,

Code:

    <child01>
        <child02>
            <text></text>
            <image>image 1</image>
            <image>image 2</image>
        </child02>
    </child01>

into this node between the ending </child01> and beginning <child01> of the

Code:

    <child01>
        <child02>
            <text></text>
            <image>image 1</image>
            <image>image 2</image>
        </child02>
    </child01>    
    <child01>
        <child02>
            <text></text>
            <image>image 1</image>
            <image>image 2</image>
        </child02>
    </child01>

Does this make sense? I guess im looking for a way to say/do... make a new node with the following values and place it between these other two nodes.

I still am learning XML but i think this can be done. one other thing... i want to do this in PHP if possible, but other languages are ok.

Your tags would be incorrectly nested in your example

Code:

    <child01>
        <child02>
            <text></text>
            <image>image 1</image>
            <image>image 2</image>
        </child02>
         <child02>
            <text></text>
            <image>image 1</image>
            <image>image 2</image>
        </child02>
    </child01>

        <child02>
            <text></text>

            <image>image 2</image>
        </child02>
         <child02>
            <text></text>
            <image>image 1</image>
            <image>image 2</image>
        </child02>
    </child01>
<child01>
        <child02>
            <text></text>
            <image>image 1</image>
            <image>image 2</image>

         <child02>
            <text></text>
            <image>image 1</image>
            <image>image 2</image>
        </child02>
    </child01>

So you are looking for code to read the node structure and insert another <child02> element.
Not how to structure the nodes.

so a PHP question really

Yes, yes and yes

as in the other thread

take a look at Thierry's code class in

Ok...
Here, if you want a copy of the node, then cloneNode() [ http://www.php.net/manual/en/functio...-clonenode.php ] is the solution.

But first, tell me if it's really a copy of the node that you need, or just another node that may be similar or not to the previous.
Because I really don't see the logic here....
