PHP - DOMDocument - need to change/replace an existing HTML tag w/ a new one
dom, html, php
Solution
You are appending the `div` to your `p` which results in `<p><div></div></p>`, removing the `p` will remove everything. Additionally `$divnode->createElement()` won't work when `$divnode` isn't initialized.
Try instead to use the DOMDocument::replaceChild() (the `div`s position in the dom will be the same as the `p`s).
foreach( $dom->getElementsByTagName("p") as $pnode ) {
$divnode = $dom->createElement("div", $pnode->nodeValue);
$dom->replaceChild($divnode, $pnode);
}
Problem
I'm trying to change all `<P>` tags in a document to `<DIV>`. This is what I've come up with, but it doesn't seem to work: ``` $dom = new DOMDocument; $dom->loadHTML($htmlfile_data); foreach( $dom->getElementsByTagName("p") as $pnode ) { $divnode->createElement("div"); $divnode->nodeValue = $pnode->nodeValue; $pnode->appendChild($divnode); $pnode->parentNode->removeChild($pnode); } ``` This is the result I want: Before: ``` <p>Some text here</p> ``` After: ``` <div>Some text here</div> ```
