xmlTreeAddChildList

SYNOPSIS

xmlNode xmlTreeAddChildList(xmlNode parent, xmlNode child)

Parameters:

  • parent - The node that you want to assign the child to

  • child - The first node in the list of children that you want to assign to parent

Returns:

  • the child


DESCRIPTION
xmlTreeAddChildList() assigns the child and the rest of its siblings as children of the parent.


EXAMPLE
Given the XML document

<top>
    <item>item 1</item>
    <item>item 2</item>
    <summary>
        <name>Squiggy</name>
        <detail>fuzzy</detail>
        <color>blue</color>
        <size>big</size>
    </summary>
</top>

The command

<$ret = (xmlTreeAddChildList($top, $detail))>

Would result in:

<top>
    <item>item 1</item>
    <item>item 2</item>
    <summary>
        <name>Squiggy</name>
    </summary>
    <detail>fuzzy</detail>
    <color>blue</color>
    <size>big</size>
</top>


CAVEATS
If this operations results in two text nodes being siblings of each other, the second node will be merged into the first and then unlinked. Any changes made to the second text node will not be reflected in the tree.
