DOMDocument: Ignore Duplicate Element IDs

Question

I\'m putting some page content (which has been run through Tidy, but doesn\'t need to be if this is a source of problems) into DOMDocument using DOMDocume

A quick search on the subject reveals this (incorrect) bug report:

The last reply states the following:

You're using HTML 4 rules to load an XHTML document. Either use the load() method to parse as XML or the libxml_use_internal_errors() function to ignore the warnings.

I can't be sure if you are encountering this problem for the same reasons, since you did not include a reference to the HTML page being loaded. In any case, using libxml_use_internal_errors() should at least suppress the error.

ID's in HTML documents are generally unique, so the best solution would still be validating your document, if at all possible.
