Properties

actualEncoding: Deprecated. Actual encoding of the document, is a readonly equivalent to encoding.
config: Deprecated. Configuration used when DOMDocument::normalizeDocument is invoked.
doctype: The Document Type Declaration associated with this document.
documentElement: This is a convenience attribute that allows direct access to the child node that is the document element of the document.
documentURI: The location of the document or NULL if undefined.
encoding: Encoding of the document, as specified by the XML declaration. This attribute is not present in the final DOM Level 3 specification, but is the only way of manipulating XML document encoding in this implementation.
formatOutput: Nicely formats output with indentation and extra space.
implementation: The DOMImplementation object that handles this document.
preserveWhiteSpace: Do not remove redundant white space. Default to TRUE.
recover: Proprietary. Enables recovery mode, i.e. trying to parse non-well formed documents. This attribute is not part of the DOM specification and is specific to libxml.
resolveExternals: Set it to TRUE to load external entities from a doctype declaration. This is useful for including character entities in your XML document.
standalone: Deprecated. Whether or not the document is standalone, as specified by the XML declaration, corresponds to xmlStandalone.
strictErrorChecking: Throws DOMException on errors. Default to TRUE.
substituteEntities: Proprietary. Whether or not to substitute entities. This attribute is not part of the DOM specification and is specific to libxml.
validateOnParse: Loads and validates against the DTD. Default to FALSE.
version: Deprecated. Version of XML, corresponds to xmlVersion.
xmlEncoding: An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, the encoding of this document. This is NULL when unspecified or when it is not known, such as when the Document was created in memory.
xmlStandalone: An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, whether this document is standalone. This is FALSE when unspecified.
xmlVersion: An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, the version number of this document. If there is no declaration and if this document supports the "XML" feature, the value is "1.0".

Properties

nodeName: Returns the most accurate name for the current node type
nodeValue: The value of this node, depending on its type
nodeType: Gets the type of the node. One of the predefined XML_xxx_NODE constants
parentNode: The parent of this node
childNodes: A DOMNodeList that contains all children of this node. If there are no children, this is an empty DOMNodeList.
firstChild: The first child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns NULL.
lastChild: The last child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns NULL.
previousSibling: The node immediately preceding this node. If there is no such node, this returns NULL.
nextSibling: The node immediately following this node. If there is no such node, this returns NULL.
attributes: A DOMNamedNodeMap containing the attributes of this node (if it is a DOMElement) or NULL otherwise.
ownerDocument: The DOMDocument object associated with this node.
namespaceURI: The namespace URI of this node, or NULL if it is unspecified.
prefix: The namespace prefix of this node, or NULL if it is unspecified.
localName: Returns the local part of the qualified name of this node.
baseURI: The absolute base URI of this node or NULL if the implementation wasn't able to obtain an absolute URI.
textContent: This attribute returns the text content of this node and its descendants.

Notes

Note:
The DOM extension uses UTF-8 encoding. Use utf8_encode and utf8_decode to work with texts in ISO-8859-1 encoding or Iconv for other encodings.
