How to delete element with DOMDocument?
You remove the node by telling the parent node to remove the child:
$href->parentNode->removeChild($href);
See DOMNode::$parentNode
Docs and DOMNode::removeChild()
Docs.
See as well:
This took me a while to figure out, so here's some clarification:
If you're deleting elements from within a loop (as in the OP's example), you need to loop backwards
$elements = $completePage->getElementsByTagName('a');for ($i = $elements->length; --$i >= 0; ) { $href = $elements->item($i); $href->parentNode->removeChild($href);}
DOMNodeList documentation: You can modify, and even delete, nodes from a DOMNodeList if you iterate backwards
