DOMElement::setAttribute — Adds new attribute
Sets an attribute with name name to the given value. If the attribute does not exist, it will be created.
The name of the attribute.
The value of the attribute.
The new DOMAttr or FALSE if an error occured.
Raised if the node is readonly.
Beispiel #1 Setting an attribute
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument("1.0");
$node = $doc->createElement("para");
$newnode = $doc->appendChild($node);
$newnode->setAttribute("align", "left");
?>
<?php
//Store your html into $html variable.
$html="
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href='http://example.com'>Example</a><br>
<a href='http://google.com'>Google</a><br>
<a href='http://www.yahoo.com'>Yahoo</a><br>
</body>
</html>";
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($html);
//Evaluate Anchor tag in HTML
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$hrefs = $xpath->evaluate("/html/body//a");
for ($i = 0; $i < $hrefs->length; $i++) {
$href = $hrefs->item($i);
$url = $href->getAttribute('href');
//remove and set target attribute
$href->removeAttribute('target');
$href->setAttribute("target", "_blank");
$newURL=$url."/newurl";
//remove and set href attribute
$href->removeAttribute('href');
$href->setAttribute("href", $newURL);
}
// save html
$html=$dom->saveHTML();
echo $html;
?>
If wanting to set an attribute of an element with unique id of "1"
<?php
$dom = new DomDocument();
$dom->load('test.xml');
$xp = new DomXPath($dom);
$res = $xp->query("//*[@id = '1']");
$res->item(0)->setAttribute('title','2');
$dom->save('test.xml');
?>
@karvjorm,
Using this method is not exactly a good practice. Infact, I think it may be a bug.
Names beginning with "xml" are reserved (for namespaces in this case).
setAttribute() should return false in this case I think, but I suppose it doesn't.
Still, the right way to do it is with createElementNS().
It lets you specify the namespace when creating the element node.
So the equivalent to yours ($html added to allow word wrapping) is:
$dom = new DomDocument('1.0','iso-8859-15');
$html = $dom->createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml', 'html');
$ht_ml = $dom->appendChild($html);
$ht_ml->setAttribute('xml:lang','fi');
$ht_ml->setAttribute('lang','fi');
$dom = new DomDocument('1.0','iso-8859-15');
$ht_ml = $dom->appendChild($dom->createElement('html'));
$ht_ml->setAttribute('xmlns','http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml');
$ht_ml->setAttribute('xml:lang','fi');
$ht_ml->setAttribute('lang','fi');
Result:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-15"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="fi" lang="fi">
