In installation notes it is stated that DOM functions are part of php core. Which is not exactly true (at least for 5.1x branch). They're loaded by default but they're not part of a core. If you use --disable-all in cofigure options and want to use DOM functions you need to add --enable-dom and --enable-libxml to have it.
When not using --disable-all you can take out DOM functionality from your installation using --disable-dom
XXIX. DOM Functions
简介
The DOM extension is the replacement for the DOM XML extension from PHP 4. The extension still contains many old functions, but they should no longer be used. In particular, functions that are not object-oriented should be avoided.
The extension allows you to operate on an XML document with the DOM API.
安装
本函数库作为 PHP 内核的一部分，不用安装就能使用。
预定义类
The API of the module follows the DOM Level 2 standard as closely as possible. Consequently, the API is fully object-oriented. It is a good idea to have the DOM standard available when using this module.
This module defines a number of classes, which are explained in the following tables. Classes with an equivalent in the DOM standard are named DOMxxx.
DOMAttr

When using include/require statements to bring in common PHP code, you may accidentally put a blank line after the trailing "?>" in the included file (ie. two newlines following the "?>" sequence). The output will contain these blank lines and, for outputting HTML, this is no biggie as web browsers are usually relaxed about parsing HTML syntax. However, XML output generated via DOMDocument->saveXML() will be checked more carefully, and XML parsers (like the one that comes with firefox/mozilla) will complain that the <?xml ....?> tag doesn't begin on the first line.
While the best solution is to make sure blank lines do not trail in the included files, you can't always guarentee that a set of include files you grab from the internet will comply. Since the nature of DOM XML generation involves building the DOM structure first, then converting it all to XML, and finally printing it all in one shot, you can safely wipe any blank lines that snuck into the output buffer when files were getting included by calling ob_clear() right before printing/echoing the XML:
dom.php:
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'iso-8859-1');
$doc->formatOutput = true;
?>
...garbage trailing at the end....
foobar.php:
<?php
include 'dom.php'
//Build up $doc here
header("Content-type: text/xml");
ob_clean();
echo $doc->saveXML();
?>

The project I'm currently working on uses XPaths to dynamically navigate through chunks of an XML file. I couldn't find any PHP code on the net that would build the XPath to a node for me, so I wrote my own function. Turns out it wasn't as hard as I thought it might be (yay recursion), though it does entail using some PHP shenanigans...
Hopefully it'll save someone else the trouble of reinventing this wheel.
<?php
function getNodeXPath( $node ) {
// REMEMBER THAT XPATHS USE BASE-1 INSTEAD OF BASE-0!!!
// Get the index for the current node by looping through the siblings.
$parentNode = $node->parentNode;
if( $parentNode != null ) {
$nodeIndex = 0;
do {
$testNode = $parentNode->childNodes->item( $nodeIndex );
$nodeName = $testNode->nodeName;
$nodeIndex++;
// PHP trickery! Here we create a counter based on the node
// name of the test node to use in the XPath.
if( !isset( $$nodeName ) ) $$nodeName = 1;
else $$nodeName++;
// Failsafe return value.
if( $nodeIndex > $parentNode->childNodes->length ) return( "/" );
} while( !$node->isSameNode( $testNode ) );
// Recursively get the XPath for the parent.
return( getNodeXPath( $parentNode ) . "/{$node->nodeName}[{$$nodeName}]" );
} else {
// Hit the root node! Note that the slash is added when
// building the XPath, so we return just an empty string.
return( "" );
}
}

Being an experienced ASP developer I was wondering how to replace textual content of a node (with msxml this is simply acheived by setting the 'text' property of a node). Out of frustration I started to play around with SimpleXml but I could not get it to work in combination with xPath.
I took me a lot of time to find out so I hope this helps others:
function replaceNodeText($objXml, $objNode, $strNewContent){
/*
This function replaces a node's string content with strNewContent
*/
$objNodeListNested = &$objNode->childNodes;
foreach ( $objNodeListNested as $objNodeNested ){
if ($objNodeNested->nodeType == XML_TEXT_NODE)$objNode->removeChild ($objNodeNested);
}
$objNode->appendChild($objXml->createTextNode($strNewContent));
}
$objXml= new DOMDocument();
$objXml->loadXML('<root><node id="1">bla</note></root>');
$objXpath = new domxpath($objXml);
$strXpath="/root/node[@id='1']";
$objNodeList = $objXpath ->query($strXpath);
foreach ($objNodeList as $objNode){
//pass the node by reference
replaceNodeText($objXml, &$objNode, $strImportedValue);
}

Note that these DOM functions expect (and presumably return) all their data in UTF-8 character encoding, regardless of what PHP's current encoding is. This means that text nodes, attribute values etc, should be in utf8.
This applies even if you're generating an XML document which is not ultimately in utf8.

This module is not included by default either in the CentOS 4 "centosplus" repository. For those using PHP5 on CentOS 4, a simple "yum --enablerepo=centosplus install php-xml" will do the trick (this will install both the XML and DOM modules).

When I tried to parse my XHTML Strict files with DOM extension, it couldn't understand xhtml entities (like ©). I found post about it here (14-Jul-2005 09:05) which adviced to add resolveExternals = true, but it was very slow. There was some small note about xml catalogs but without any glue. Here it is:
XML catalogs is something like cache. Download all needed dtd's to /etc/xml, edit file /etc/xml/catalog and add this line: <public publicId="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" uri="file:///etc/xml/xhtml1-strict.dtd" />
Thats all. Thanks to http://www.whump.com/moreLikeThis/link/03815

This particular W3C page provides invaluable documentation for the DOM classes implemented in php5 (via libxml2). It fills in plenty of php.net's gaps:
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html
Some key examples:
* concise summary of the class heirachy (1.1.1)
* clarification that DOM level 2 doesn't allow for population of internal DTDs
* explanation of DOMNode->normalize()
* explanation of the DOMImplementation class
The interfaces are described in OMG's Interface Definition Language

Text nodes contain utf-8 encoding internally, no matter if you specify iso-8859-1 in the file you parse or create a new doc using
$xmltree = new DomDocument('1.0','iso-8859-1');
The solution is to use utf8_decode
$original =
utf8_decode(
$myitem->getElementsByTagName('ORIGINAL')->item(0)->nodeValue);

As of PHP 5.1, libxml options may be set using constants rather than the use of proprietary DomDocument properties.
DomDocument->resolveExternals is equivilant to setting
LIBXML_DTDLOAD
LIBXML_DTDATTR
DomDocument->validateOnParse is equivilant to setting
LIBXML_DTDLOAD
LIBXML_DTDVALID
PHP 5.1 users are encouraged to use the new constants.
Example:
DomDocument->load($file, LIBXML_DTDLOAD|LIBXML_DTDATTR);

When dealing with validation or loading, the output errors can be quite annoying.
PHP 5.1 introduces libxml_get_errors().

[Editor's Note: If you're using entities, then you have no choice. XML Catalogs can speed DTD resolution.]
Never use
$dom->resolveExternals=true;
when parsing XHTML document that has the DOCTYPE declaration with DTD URL specified in it.
Otherwise parsing the XHTML with DOCTYPE like this one:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
will result in PHP/DOM downloading the DTD file from W3C site when parsing your document. It will add extra delay to your script - I experienced that $dom->load()'s total time was from 1 to 16 seconds.

I wrote a framework to implement the StyleSheet interfaces as specified on the W3C website. The code is written in PHP, and is NOT a complete implementation. Use it how ya like. I was planning on adding the CSSStyleSheet interfaces as well. Feel free to ask.
<?
class StyleSheetList {
public length;
private self;
function __construct ( ) {
$this->self = array();
}
function __get($property, $&ret) {
if($property == 'length')
$ret = count($this->self);
return true;
}
function __set($property, $val) {
if($property == 'length')
return true;
}
function item( $index ) {
return $this->self[$index];
}
}
class MediaList extends StyleSheetList {
function appendMedium ( $newMedium ) {
array_push($this->self, $newMedium);
}
function deleteMedium ( $oldMedium ) {
foreach($this->self as $item) {
if( $item == $oldMedium ) {
$item = $this->self[ $this->length-1 ];
array_pop($this->self);
break;
}
}
}
}
class DocumentStyle {
public styleSheets;
function __construct ( ) {
$this->styleSheets = new StyleSheetList();
}
function __set($property, $val) {
if($property == 'styleSheets')
return true;
}
}
class LinkStyle {
public sheet;
function __construct () {
$this->sheet = new StyleSheet();
}
function __set($property, $val) {
if($property == 'sheet')
return true;
}
}
class StyleSheet {
public type;
public disabled;
public ownerNode;
public parentStyleSheet;
public href;
public title;
public media;
function __construct( $type, $disabled, $ownerNode, $parentStyleSheet, $href, $title){
$this->type = $type;
$this->disabled = $disabled;
$this->media = new MediaList();
$this->ownerNode = $ownerNode;
$this->parentStyleSheet = $parentStyleSheet;
$this->href = $href;
$this->title = $title;
}
}
?>

my bad..its not an attribute ..its a text element node so if one checks for that, it can be easily corrected.
Wrote the corrected function. I hope it takes care of all conditions. If someone finds any issues with it, I would be glad to know about it.
function readXml($domnode, &$array)
{
$array_ptr = &$array;
$domnode = $domnode->firstChild;
while (!is_null($domnode))
{
switch ($domnode->nodeType)
{
case XML_TEXT_NODE: if(!(trim($domnode->nodeValue) == ""))
$array_ptr['cdata'] = $domnode->nodeValue;
break;
case XML_ELEMENT_NODE:
$array_ptr = &$array[$domnode->nodeName][];
if ($domnode->hasAttributes() )
{
$attributes = $domnode->attributes;
foreach ($attributes as $index => $domobj)
{
$array_ptr[$domobj->name] = $domobj->value;
}
}
break;
}
if ( $domnode->hasChildNodes() )
{
readXml($domnode, $array_ptr);
}
$domnode = $domnode->nextSibling;
}
}

Output a special chars like à in your XML/XSLT
Following example create a easy XML that is transformed by a xsl i'll show below:
XSL FILE v1.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
<xsl:template match="TEST">
<xsl:value-of select="NAME"/><BR/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
PHP SOURCE CODE
<?php
$xml = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8'); //Change encoding to utf-8
$xsl = new DOMDocument;
$xsl->load('v1.xsl');
$proc = new XSLTProcessor;
$root = $xml->CreateElement("TEST");
$val = utf8_encode ('Andrs Poluk'); //New Line
$child = $xml->CreateElement("NAME",$val);
$root->appendChild($child);
$xml->appendChild($root);
$proc->importStyleSheet($xsl);
echo $proc->transformToXML($xml);
?>

simple exemple of how to get the value of an attribute, delete that attribute and create a new element at the place we want with the value of the attribute
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<book type="paperback">
<title name='MAP'>Red Nails</title>
<price>$12.99</price>
<author>
<name first="Robert" middle="E" last="Howard"/>
<birthdate>9/21/1977</birthdate>
</author>
</book>
<?php
//filename xml file to use
$file = 'book.xml';
$doc = new domDocument;
if (file_exists($file)) {
$doc->load($file);
} else {
exit('Erreur !.');
}
$xpath = new domXPath($doc);
$query = "//author/*";
$xpathQuery = $xpath->query($query);
// a for loop to iterate all the elements in the xpathQuery nodelist and allow us to find what we want
// i could have used a while loop also, use what you prefer
$size = $xpathQuery->length;
for ($i=0; $i<$size; $i++){
$node = $xpathQuery->item($i);
if ($node->nodeName == 'name' && $node->hasAttributes()){
foreach ($node->attributes as $attribute) {
if ($attribute->name == 'last' && $attribute->value == 'Howard'){
foreach ($node->attributes as $attribute) {
if ($attribute->name == 'first'){
// get first name value
$firstname = $attribute->value;
// we need the current node later so we know where to add the new element
$refnode = $node;
// remove the firstname attribut
$node->removeAttribute('first');
}
}
}
}
}
}
if (isset($refnode)) {
// we need the parent node (see below)
$parentnode = $refnode->parentNode;
// creat new element firstname
$newnode = $doc->createElement('firstname', $firstname);
// optional, creat a linebreak element
$newtextnode = $doc->createTextNode(chr(10));
// insert the new element before the reference node (in this case, the 'name' node)
$newnode = $parentnode->insertBefore($newnode, $refnode);
// optional, insert the linebreak before the reference node, hence after the new 'firstname' element
$newtextnode = $parentnode->insertBefore($newtextnode, $refnode);
}
print $doc->saveXML();
?>
