[SOLVED] Deleting a node with known position in DOM (XML)

[spamgoat]

Hey all,

 

I have a a xml with a very basic structure:

 

<root>
  <template name="name0">data0</template>
  <template name="name1">data1</template>
  <template name="name2">data2</template>
  <template name="name3">data3</template>
  <template name="name4">data4</template>
  <template name="name5">data5</template>
  <template name="name6">data6</template>
</root>

 

I'm trying to remove the 4th node in the file (named name3). The code i'm using for this is:

 

<?
    $i = 3; //Hoping to delete the 4th node.
    $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->load('file:///var/templates.xml'); 

    $items = $doc->getElementsByTagName('template'); $items2 = $items->item($i);
    $itemg = $items2->nodeValue; echo $itemg; //It does return the value of the item i'm trying to delete.

    $itemg = $items->removeChild($items2); //Return: "Fatal error: Call to undefined method DOMNodeList::removeChild()"
?>

 

As said above, the script return Fatal error: Call to undefined method DOMNodeList::removeChild().

 

I've no idea why it isn't working, and definitely not an idea what the correct code would be.

 

Any help would be highly appreciated,

It seems to stop erroring when I change the last line from

$itemg = $items->removeChild($items2);

to

$itemg = $items->item(0)->removeChild($items2);

 

But it doesn't actually remove anything.  :'(
