<?php // Create a new DOMDocument instance $document = new DOMDocument();
// Create a div element $element = $document ->appendChild( new DOMElement( 'div' ));
// Create a text Node $text = $document ->createTextNode( 'GeeksforGeeks' );
// Append the nodes $element ->appendChild( $text );
echo "Number of text nodes before splitting: " ;
echo count ( $element ->childNodes) . "<br>" ;
// Splitting the text $text ->splitText(5);
echo "Number of text nodes after splitting: " ;
echo count ( $element ->childNodes);
?> |
