You could loop through the list backwards, that way, you are only ever taking off the last item from the list, and hence wont have disrupted the order.

Ejemplo #1 Atravesar todas las entradas de una tabla
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->load('book.xml');
$items = $doc->getElementsByTagName('entry');
for ($i = 0; $i < $items->length; $i++) {
echo $items->item($i)->nodeValue . "\n";
}
?>
De manera alternativa, se puede usar foreach, que es una manera mucho más conveniente:
<?php
foreach ($items as $item) {
echo $item->nodeValue . "\n";
}
?>
El resultado del ejemplo sería:

You could loop through the list backwards, that way, you are only ever taking off the last item from the list, and hence wont have disrupted the order.
calling domnodelist->item($i) with an index $i greater than domnodelist->length - 1 , will return the entire document, will not produce an error, and will not circle back to the start of the list.
DOMNodelist::item can return a DOMElement object, which extends DOMNode class. But it can also return a DOMText object.
<?php
$xml = '
<root>
<node/>
<node>
<sub>more</sub>
</node>
<node>
<sub>another</sub>
</node>
<node>value</node>
</root>
';
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadXML($xml);
$items = $doc->documentElement->childNodes;
for ($i = 0; $i < $items->length; $i++)
echo get_class($items->item($i)).PHP_EOL;
?>
Results in this output:
DOMText
DOMElement
DOMText
DOMElement
DOMText
DOMElement
DOMText
DOMElement
DOMText
DOMNodeList::item does not return in constant time!
If you need to iterate over large nodelist then you'd better use standard navigation.
Instead of:
<?php
foreach ($nodelist as $node) {
// do something
}
?>
you could do:
<?php
$node = $parentnode->firstChild;
do {
// do something
} while ($node = $node->nextSibling);
?>
SimpleXML has its own SPL iterator. See http://www.php.net/~helly/php/ext/spl/classSimpleXMLIterator.html . But I guess that there are none for DOM nodes. By the way, two out of three implementations I found over the Net were not recursive, so I wrote my own. Here is the snippet:
<?php
class DOMNodeListIterator implements RecursiveIterator
{
private
$nodes,
$offset;
function __construct(DOMNodeList $nodes)
{
return $this -> nodes = $nodes;
}
function rewind()
{
return $this -> offset = 0;
}
function current()
{
return $this -> nodes -> item($this -> offset);
}
function key()
{
return $this -> current() -> nodeName;
}
function next()
{
return $this -> offset++;
}
function valid()
{
return $this -> offset < $this -> nodes -> length;
}
function hasChildren()
{
return isset($this -> current() -> childNodes -> length) && $this -> current() -> childNodes -> length > 0;
}
function getChildren()
{
return new self($this -> current() -> childNodes);
}
}
?>
Remember to use RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST flag when you create your iterator iterator.
<?php
$iterator = new DOMNodeListIterator($document -> childNodes);
$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($iterator, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
?>
Should work, has just few minutes though. :)
It seems that with zend.ze1_compatibility_mode on, the only way to iterate over the items list is with :
for ($i = 0; $i < $nodeList->length; ++$i) {
$nodeName = $nodeList->item($i)->nodeName;
$nodeValue = $nodeList->item($i)->nodeValue;
}
As other attemps failed :
for ($i = 0; $i < $nodeList->length; ++$i) {
$node = &$nodeList->item($i);
$nodeName = $node->nodeName;
$nodeValue = $node->nodeValue;
}
or :
foreach ($nodeList as $node) {
echo $node->nodeName;
echo $node->nodeValue;
}
Keep in mind that DOMNodelists are "live" - changes to the document or node that the DOMNodelist was derived from will be reflected in the DOMNodelist. In other words, a list of a parent node's children will change if you change the parent's children!

I have had exactly this problem.
To rectify I've had to do this:
<?php
$old_element = $doc->getElementsByTagName('Element1')->item(0);
$new_element = $doc->createElement('NewElement1');
$old_element_childNodes = $old_element->childNodes;
$length = $old_element_childNodes->length;
for($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++)
{
$oldChildren_array[] = $old_element_childNodes->item($i);
}
foreach($oldChildren_array as $old_c)
{
$new_element->appendChild($old_c);
}
?>
Rather than this:
(which I will bug report)
<?php
$old_element = $doc->getElementsByTagName('Element1')->item(0):
$new_element = $doc->createElement('NewElement1');
foreach($old_element->childNode as $node)
{
$new_element->appendChild($node);
}
?>
Using the latter, randomally removes the children!
NodeList are something annoying because you can't output the content with a simple print_r, so I did a little function that add all the node to a new empty DOMDocument and output it as a string.
Have fun.
<?php
public function domNodeList_to_string($DomNodeList) {
$output = '';
$doc = new DOMDocument;
while ( $node = $DomNodeList->item($i) ) {
// import node
$domNode = $doc->importNode($node, true);
// append node
$doc->appendChild($domNode);
$i++;
}
$output = $doc->saveXML();
$output = print_r($output, 1);
// I added this because xml output and ajax do not like each others
$output = htmlspecialchars($output);
return $output;
}
?>
