When a dom node is copied like below described wrong way, php fails when the method is executed at the end with:

Either the documentation of DomNode->replace_node() is wrong:
 (PHP 4.3) This function replaces an existing node with the passed new node. It is not copied anymore. If newnode was already inserted in the document it is first unlinked from its existing context
or the code of replace_node must be updated a little bit.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Wrong:

function ReplaceNodeWithFile( &$node, $filename )
{
$src = file( $filename );
$this->Dom = domxml_open_mem( $src );
$srcRoot = $src->document_element();
$node->replace_node( $srcRoot );
}

Right:
function ReplaceNodeWithFile( &$node, $filename )
{
$src = file( $filename );
$this->Dom = domxml_open_mem( $src );
$srcRoot = $src->document_element();
$cloned = $srcRoot->clone_node( TRUE );
$node->replace_node( $cloned );
}

Could you please supply the complete source (as small as possible) of the script resulting in the error as well as the XML file you are using/creating.
 [2003-07-23 13:26 UTC] iliaa@php.net
This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
