Question

I have a dom element with html inside chat contains some html elements I’d like to remove, while still keeping some tags that are ok.

I try to iterate through child elements all child elements and delete those that need to be removed

foreach ($node->getElementsByTagName('*') as $element)
    if ($element->nodeName != 'br')
        $node->removeChild($element);

But this throws a Not Found Error exception which not being caught causes a fatal error.
How would I solve this problem ?

Answer 1

Use the following instead to remove the node:

$element->parentNode->removeChild($element);
