Php - Domdocument - Need To Change/replace An Existing Html Tag W/ A New One

I'm trying to change all

tags in a document to

. This is what I've come up with, but it doesn't seem to work: $dom = new DOMDocument; $dom->loadHTML($htmlf

Solution 1:

You are appending the div to your p which results in <p><div></div></p>, removing the p will remove everything. Additionally $divnode->createElement() won't work when $divnode isn't initialized.

Try instead to use the DOMDocument::replaceChild() (the divs position in the dom will be the same as the ps).

foreach( $dom->getElementsByTagName("p") as$pnode ) {
    $divnode = $dom->createElement("div", $pnode->nodeValue);
    $dom->replaceChild($divnode, $pnode);
}

Solution 2:

Enhanced function from this answer

functionchangeTagName($node, $name) {
    $childnodes = array();
    foreach ( $node->childNodes as$child ) {
        $childnodes[] = $child;
    }
    $newnode = $node->ownerDocument->createElement( $name );
    foreach ( $childnodesas$child ){
        $child2 = $node->ownerDocument->importNode( $child, true );
        $newnode->appendChild($child2);
    }
    if ( $node->hasAttributes() ) {
        foreach ( $node->attributes as$attr ) {
            $attrName = $attr->nodeName;
            $attrValue = $attr->nodeValue;
            $newnode->setAttribute($attrName, $attrValue);
        }
    }
    $node->parentNode->replaceChild( $newnode, $node );
    return$newnode;
}
