DOMDocument::registerNodeClass

(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

DOMDocument::registerNodeClass — Register extended class used to create base node type

Beschreibung

public DOMDocument::registerNodeClass(string $baseClass, ?string $extendedClass): bool

This method allows you to register your own extended DOM class to be used afterward by the PHP DOM extension.

This method is not part of the DOM standard.

Achtung

The constructor of the objects of the registered node classes is not called.

Parameter-Liste

baseClass: The DOM class that you want to extend. You can find a list of these classes in the chapter introduction.
extendedClass: Your extended class name. If null is provided, any previously registered class extending baseClass will be removed.

Rückgabewerte

Gibt bei Erfolg true zurück. Bei einem Fehler wird false zurückgegeben.

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 Adding a new method to DOMElement to ease our code

<?php

class myElement extends DOMElement {
   function appendElement($name) { 
      return $this->appendChild(new myElement($name));
   }
}

class myDocument extends DOMDocument {
   function setRoot($name) { 
      return $this->appendChild(new myElement($name));
   }
}

$doc = new myDocument();
$doc->registerNodeClass('DOMElement', 'myElement');

// From now on, adding an element to another costs only one method call ! 
$root = $doc->setRoot('root');
$child = $root->appendElement('child');
$child->setAttribute('foo', 'bar');

echo $doc->saveXML();

?>

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root><child foo="bar"/></root>

Beispiel #2 Retrieving elements as custom class

<?php
class myElement extends DOMElement {
    public function __toString() {
        return $this->nodeValue;
    }
}

$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadXML("<root><element><child>text in child</child></element></root>");
$doc->registerNodeClass("DOMElement", "myElement");

$element = $doc->getElementsByTagName("child")->item(0);
var_dump(get_class($element));

// And take advantage of the __toString method..
echo $element;
?>

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

string(9) "myElement"
text in child

Beispiel #3 Retrieving owner document

When instantiating a custom DOMDocument the ownerDocument property will refer to the instantiated class. However, if all references to that class are removed, it will be destroyed and new DOMDocument will be created instead. For that reason you might use DOMDocument::registerNodeClass() with DOMDocument

<?php
class MyDOMDocument extends DOMDocument {
}

class MyOtherDOMDocument extends DOMDocument {
}

// Create MyDOMDocument with some XML
$doc = new MyDOMDocument;
$doc->loadXML("<root><element><child>text in child</child></element></root>");

$child = $doc->getElementsByTagName("child")->item(0);

// The current owner of the node is MyDOMDocument
var_dump(get_class($child->ownerDocument));
// MyDOMDocument is destroyed
unset($doc);
// And new DOMDocument instance is created
var_dump(get_class($child->ownerDocument));

// Import a node from MyDOMDocument
$newdoc = new MyOtherDOMDocument;
$child = $newdoc->importNode($child);

// Register custom DOMDocument
$newdoc->registerNodeClass("DOMDocument", "MyOtherDOMDocument");

var_dump(get_class($child->ownerDocument));
unset($doc);
// New MyOtherDOMDocument is created
var_dump(get_class($child->ownerDocument));
?>

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

string(13) "MyDOMDocument"
string(11) "DOMDocument"
string(18) "MyOtherDOMDocument"
string(18) "MyOtherDOMDocument"

Beispiel #4 Custom objects are transient

Achtung

Objects of the registered node classes are transient, i.e. they are destroyed when they are no longer referenced from PHP code, and recreated when being retrieved again. That implies that custom property values will be lost after recreation.

<?php
class MyDOMElement extends DOMElement
{
    public $myProp = 'default value';
}

$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->registerNodeClass('DOMElement', 'MyDOMElement');

$node = $doc->createElement('a');
$node->myProp = 'modified value';
$doc->appendChild($node);

echo $doc->childNodes[0]->myProp, PHP_EOL;
unset($node);
echo $doc->childNodes[0]->myProp, PHP_EOL;
?>

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

modified value
default value

Creating innerHTML and outerHTML

<?php

class DOMHTMLElement extends DOMElement
{
    function __construct() { parent::__construct();} 
    
    public function innerHTML()
    {
        $doc = new DOMDocument();
      foreach ($this->childNodes as $child){
          $doc->appendChild($doc->importNode($child, true));
        }
        $content = $doc->saveHTML();
        return $content;
    }
    
    public function outerHTML()
    {
        $doc = new DOMDocument();
        $doc->appendChild($doc->importNode($this, true));
        $content = $doc->saveHTML();
        return $content;
    }
}

$dom = DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile($file);
$dom->registerNodeClass('DOMElement','DOMHTMLElement');
            
if($dom)
{
    $xpath = new DOMXpath($dom);    
    $regions = $xpath->query("//*[contains(@class, 'editable')]");    
    $content = '';
    
    foreach($regions as $region){
        $content .= $region->outerHTML();
    }    
    
    return $content;
    
}else{                
    throw new Exception('Cannot parse HTML.  Please verify the syntax is correct.');
}
?>

Note than save and saveXML are not affected by __toString().
