Return Values

No value is returned.

Errors/Exceptions

DOM_HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if the parent is of a type that does not allow children of the type of one of the passed nodes, or if the node to put in is one of this node's ancestors or this node itself.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.3.0	Calling this method on a node without a parent is now a no-op to align the behaviour with the DOM specification. Previously this threw a DOMException with code `DOM_HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR`.
8.3.0	Calling this method on a node without an owner document now works. Previously this threw a DOMException with code `DOM_HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR`.

Examples

Example #1 DOMElement::after example

Adds nodes after the hello element.

<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadXML("<hello/>");
$container = $doc->documentElement;

$container->after("beautiful", $doc->createElement("world"));

echo $doc->saveXML();
?>

The above example will output:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<hello/>
beautiful
<world/>
