As of v4.2.2 of PHP, with libxml version 2.4.19, set_content does not replace the content of the node, but only appends to it. Apache version is 1.3.26
There is no direct function to overwrite the contents of a node, and to do so requires a roundabout way of creating a new node, copying the children and properties, and then setting the content of that node and replace_node'ing it into the DoM. There should be. That, or set_content should have the expected behaviour of replacing the node content (if appending is required, that can be done by using get_content).

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

If you xml is:

<!xml>
<root>
  <Node attr="1">
    some text here
  </Node>
</root>

and you try to use set_content on the "Node" node it will append, but what happens when you use set_content on the "some text here" child node of type XML_TEXT_NODE?

Well, I have the same problem in replacing a node's 
content. My point of view is that if you use get_content() 
on the "Node" node above to retrieve the text content 
"some text here" you should also be able to replace this 
content by calling set_content(). 
 
Otherwise, can you tell me a fast way to replace the 
content of such a node? I would really appreciate if 
set_content() would replace the content rather than 
appending it.
