Question

I’m trying to append some HTML to the end of the body with PHP. I’m using a DOMText object and appending it like so:

$js = new DOMText("<script type='text/javascript'>\njson='".$response."';alert(json);</script>");
$bodyTags = $indexDOM->getElementsByTagName('body');
$bodyTags->item(0)->appendChild($js);

The problem is that the HTML I’m appending is being surrounded by quotation marks. Is there any way to remove those quotation marks or an alternative way that doesn’t surround the text with quotes?

Answer 1

I guess you should be using

DOMNode http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.domnode.php or

DOMElement http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.domelement.php

to get the job done.

EDIT

Example:

$bodyTags = $doc->getElementsByTagName('body');

$newEl = $doc->createElement('script');
$newEl->setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');

$response = "{'fname':'stackoverflow'}";
$js = new DOMText("json=\"".$response."\";alert(json);");
$newEl->appendChild($js);
$bodyTags->item(0)->appendChild($newEl);

There are several ways of achieving this. this is just an example.
