 New Comment:

Sorry for answering here, but what is the sense of these Fragments
then? Appending an Empty Fragments throws an Error that "Document
Fragment is empty".
When Inserting the Fragment removes the Childs, these Object is not
really usable, or am I wring here?

Just a second thing which comes in my mind. Why does $dom2->saveXML()
shows the complete Structure like it should be?

Thanks for your time

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Appending fragment removes the nodes from the fragment. Otherwise it
breaks xsl, xpath and unexpected tree navigation results.

Description:
------------
When creating a new DocumentFragment, and appending some Child Nodes,
the Fragment is still Empty. The Content is inside the DomDocument, but
cannot be accessed through the Fragment Node.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$xmlData = <<<XMLDATA
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<root>
        <subElement>content</subElement>
</root>
XMLDATA;

$dom = new DomDocument;
$dom->loadXML( $xmlData );

$dom2 = new DomDocument;
$fragment = $dom2->createDocumentFragment();
foreach( $dom->childNodes AS $node ) {
        $newNode = $dom2->importNode( $node, true );
        $fragment->appendChild( $newNode );
}
$dom2->appendChild( $fragment );

echo $dom2->saveXML( $fragment );
?>

Expected result:
----------------
<root>
        <subElement>content</subElement>
</root>

Actual result:
--------------
no output (empty String is returned)
