remove the blank rows after i removed xml elements?
- by fayer
i removed some elements from a xml file with simpledom.
the code:
$this->xmlDocument->removeNodes("//entity[name='mac']");
here is the initial file:
<entity id="1000070">
<name>apple</name>
<type>category</type>
<entities>
<entity id="7002870">
<name>mac</name>
<type>category</type>
</entity>
<entity id="7024080">
<name>iphone</name>
<type>category</type>
</entity>
<entity id="7024080">
<name>ipad</name>
<type>category</type>
</entity>
</entities>
</entity>
the file afterwards:
<entity id="1000070">
<name>apple</name>
<type>category</type>
<entities>
<entity id="7024080">
<name>iphone</name>
<type>category</type>
</entity>
<entity id="7024080">
<name>ipad</name>
<type>category</type>
</entity>
</entities>
</entity>
i wonder how i could also remove the blank lines that are left after i ran the removal code?
thanks!
