PHP 8.4.1 Released!

    The DOMNodeList class

    (PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

    类摘要

    class DOMNodeList implements IteratorAggregate, Countable {
    /* 属性 */
    public readonly int $length;
    /* 方法 */
    public count(): int
    public getIterator(): Iterator
    public item(int $index): DOMElement|DOMNode|DOMNameSpaceNode|null
    }

    属性

    length

    The number of nodes in the list. The range of valid child node indices is 0 to length - 1 inclusive.

    更新日志

    版本 说明
    8.0.0 DOMNodeList implements IteratorAggregate now. Previously, Traversable was implemented instead.
    7.2.0 The Countable interface is implemented and returns the value of the length property.

    注释

    注意: Nodes in the list can be accessed by array syntax.

    If you want to recurse over a DOM then this might help:
    <?php

    /**
    * PHP's DOM classes are recursive but don't provide an implementation of
    * RecursiveIterator. This class provides a RecursiveIterator for looping over DOMNodeList
    */
    class DOMNodeRecursiveIterator extends ArrayIterator implements RecursiveIterator {

    public function     __construct (DOMNodeList $node_list) {

    $nodes = array();
    foreach(    $node_list as $node) {
    $nodes[] = $node;
    }

    parent::__construct($nodes);

    }

    public function     getRecursiveIterator(){
    return new     RecursiveIteratorIterator($this, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
    }

    public function     hasChildren () {
    return     $this->current()->hasChildNodes();
    }


    public function     getChildren () {
    return new     self($this->current()->childNodes);
    }

    }
    ?>

    Note that $length is calculated (php5.3.2).
    Iterating over a large NodeList may be time expensive.

    Prefer :
    $nb = $nodelist->length;
    for($pos=0; $pos<$nb; $pos++)

    Than:
    for($pos=0; $pos<$nodelist->length; $pos++)

    I had a hard time figuring that out...

    In PHP 5.2.5 (Windows) it is not possible to iterate correctly over the DOMNodeList object returned by DOMNode->childNodes using foreach. Instead I had to use the for loop in conjunction with the item() method of DOMNodeList for iterating over all child nodes correctly.

    I don't know whether this is really a bug, but apparently it is.

    You can modify, and even delete, nodes from a DOMNodeList if you iterate backwards:

    $els = $document->getElementsByTagName('input');
    for ($i = $els->length; --$i >= 0; ) {
    $el = $els->item($i);
    switch ($el->getAttribute('name')) {
    case 'MAX_FILE_SIZE' :
    $el->parentNode->removeChild($el);
    break;
    case 'inputfile' :
    $el->setAttribute('type', 'text');
    //break;
    }
    }

    I have done some testing and have found 2 results:
    (My System: Win XP with PHP 5.2.1)

    1) Iteration with foreach does function correctly as "james dot j dot hackett at gmail dot com" writes, _if_ you only do readonly stuff with foreach or minor writings of some attributes.

    2) foreach does not function, if you are doing some DOM-Operations while iterating. In my situation it was adding the iterated $node as an child to an new node:

    $newNode = $dom->createElement('newNode') ;
    foreach ($nodeList as $node) {
    echo $node->nodeValue ;
    $newNode->appendChild($node) ;
    }

    This only gives you the first element ...

    I'm interpreting it as an confusing but correct behavior because of the changes within the $dom-object while appending the node at an additional place ...

    So, if you want to do something like 2) use for, length and item() :)

    It's worth to mention that DOMNodeList is not an Array, so you have to convert first to an array before to use for, foreach or array_map, array_filter, array_walk functions.

    Use iterator_to_array to make the conversion ( since PHP 5.1.0 ) .

    <code>
    /* @ suppress warning var_dump not yet implemented for class */

    @array_walk( iterator_to_array( $Some_NodeList ), 'var_dump' ) );

    foreach( iterator_to_array( $Some_NodeList ) as $node )
    @var_dump( $node );

    </code>

    Hope is usefull.

    You don't need to convert a DOMNodeList to an array in order iterate through it using 'foreach'. You can use foreach directly with the DOMNodeList.

    $nodeList = $someDomDocument->getElementsbytagname('user');

    foreach ($nodeList as $node) {
    echo $node->nodeValue;
    }

    That's actually incorrect. You can use function results as objects. It makes building an API for your database very clean and neat. For example:

    Our code:

    $articles = Node::screate('tags', 123456)->assets('like:title:test')->articles;

    We use the above code to get articles that are linked to assets that are linked to a specific tag in our database.

    Addition to my first note:

    An traditional for-loop does not allow you to change the DOM-tree while looping - the effects are the nearly the same as with foreach. So you have to collect the nodes in an array and do the tree-altering stuff within a second loop (looping the array this time ...)
