Hi, I use DOMDocument. My code here.
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$textNode = $dom->createTextNode('<input type="text" name="lastName" />');
$dom->appendChild($textNode);
echo $dom->saveHTML();
Output:
<input type="text" name="lastName" />
I want to this output
<input type="text" name="lastName" />
How can i do?
Change createTextNode with createElement. Text nodes are for text :)
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$textNode = $dom->createElement('input');
$textNode->setAttribute('type', 'text');
$textNode->setAttribute('name', 'lastName');
$dom->appendChild($textNode);
echo $dom->saveHTML();
You need something that actually parses the xml data instead of treating it as "plain" text. DOMDocumentFragment and DOMDocumentFragment::appendXML() can do that.
E.g.
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadhtml('<html><head><title>...</title></head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="lalala">
<div id="formcontrols">
</div>
<div>
<input type="submit" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>');
// find the parent node of the new xml fragement
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
$parent = $xpath->query('//div[@id="formcontrols"]');
// should test this first
$parent = $parent->item(0);
$fragment = $doc->createDocumentFragment();
$fragment->appendXML('<input type="text" name="lastName" />');
$parent->appendChild($fragment);
echo $doc->savehtml();
