PHP DOMDocument: Delete elements by class

Question

I\' trying to delete every node with a given class.

To find the elements I use:

$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
    foreach( $xpath->query(\'//div[co         


        

Answer 1

You need to use the removeChild() method of the parent element:

$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
foreach($xpath->query('//div[contains(attribute::class, "foo")]') as $e ) {
    // Delete this node
    $e->parentNode->removeChild($e);
}

Btw, about your second question, if there are no elements found, the loop won't iterate at all.

Here comes a working example:

$html = <<
