DomNode_>replace_node

Description

(PHP 4_2) This function replaces an existing node with the passed new node_ Before the replacement newnode is copied if it has a parent to make sure a node which is already in the document will not be inserted a second time_ This behaviour enforces doing all modifications on the node before the replacement or to refetch the inserted node afterwards with functions like domnode_first_child(), domnode_child_nodes() etc__

(PHP 4_3) This function replaces an existing node with the passed new node_ It is not copied anymore_ If newnode was already inserted in the document it is first unlinked from its existing context_ If the replacement succeds the old node is returned_
