DOMDocument->saveHTMLFile saving escaped text

Question

I am trying to save a string of html into the nodeValue attribute of a DOMElement in PHP, but after I save the file with DOMDocument->saveHTMLFile the string of HTML is escaped and I can not figure out how to get the string not be saved as escaped text. Any ideas?

Can you elaborate more as to what is happening? Do you want the HTML syntax to show as `>` opposed to `>`? — Anthony Forloney, Feb 15 '10 at 03:11
yes, the html is coming from a wysiwyg editor (e.g.
text
) and being put into the nodeValue attribute of a DOMElement object and it is appearing in the file as: <p>text</p> — trobrock, Feb 15 '10 at 03:14

You should load that string of html with DOMDocument::loadHTML and append that to your node (appendChild).

This seems to be what I would be looking to do, after I parse the HTML string with loadHTML I am then trying to append it to the current element with this: $currElement->appendChild($html_dom_doc->documentElement) But I am getting an exception: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'DOMException' with message 'Wrong Document Error' – trobrock Feb 15 '10 at 03:36
You can use importNode() method: http://en.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.importnode.php Also, PHP's DOM has non-standard appendXML() method, it looks exactly what you need (not sure it will accept HTML, though).
