I've literally been trying to get this CDATA node replaced for hours, but PHP keeps throwing different exceptions at me (ranging from DOM_NOT_FOUND to Call of function replaceChild on a Non-Object).

 

If someone would be able to help, I would be very grateful.

 

I have a fairly simple XML file

<root>
  <parent>
    <child>
      <html>
        <![CDATA[some html]]>
      </html>
    </child>
    ...
  </parent>
  ...
</root>

 

and I want to replace a certain CDATA element with another one.

 

And I am trying to do so, by use of this code:

$dom_xml = dom_import_simplexml($xml);
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0');
$dom_xml = $dom->importNode($dom_xml, true);
$dom_xml = $dom->appendChild($dom_xml);

$newNode = $dom->createElement('html');
$data = $dom->createCDATASection($op['new'][$k]);
$new = $newNode->appendChild($data);


$lvl1 = $dom->getElementsByTagName('parent');
$l1 = $lvl1->item($op['l2'][$k]); //this ofcourse, being an integer
$lvl2 = $l1->getElementsByTagName('child');
$l2 = $lvl2->item($op['l3'][$k]); //this ofcourse, being an integer
$html = $l2->getElementsByTagName('html');
$html = $html->item(0);

$l2->parentNode->replaceChild($new, $l2);
$xml = simplexml_import_dom($dom);

 

Yes, I am aware that I am most likely in violation of several best practices, but for now, I'm just trying to get this thing to work :)
