PHP 7.0.6 Released

    The DOMCharacterData class

    (PHP 5, PHP 7)

    Introduction

    Represents nodes with character data. No nodes directly correspond to this class, but other nodes do inherit from it.

    Class synopsis

    DOMCharacterData extends DOMNode {
    /* Properties */
    public string $data ;
    readonly public int $length ;
    /* Methods */
    void appendData ( string $data )
    void deleteData ( int $offset , int $count )
    void insertData ( int $offset , string $data )
    void replaceData ( int $offset , int $count , string $data )
    string substringData ( int $offset , int $count )
    /* Inherited methods */
    public DOMNode DOMNode::appendChild ( DOMNode $newnode )
    public string DOMNode::C14N ([ bool $exclusive [, bool $with_comments [, array $xpath [, array $ns_prefixes ]]]] )
    public int DOMNode::C14NFile ( string $uri [, bool $exclusive [, bool $with_comments [, array $xpath [, array $ns_prefixes ]]]] )
    public DOMNode DOMNode::cloneNode ([ bool $deep ] )
    public int DOMNode::getLineNo ( void )
    public string DOMNode::getNodePath ( void )
    public bool DOMNode::hasAttributes ( void )

    public bool DOMNode::isSameNode ( DOMNode $node )
    public bool DOMNode::isSupported ( string $feature , string $version )
    public string DOMNode::lookupNamespaceURI ( string $prefix )
    public string DOMNode::lookupPrefix ( string $namespaceURI )
    public void DOMNode::normalize ( void )

    In case you're looking for the CDATA class to which nodes /do/ correspond, it's called DOMCdataSection (per my PHP installation) and isn't documented on php.net.  Presumably, it doesn't add anything to this API.
