hi teodor && all,
thanks but i am not sure how to accomplish this.
eg. if i do:
$kids = $parent->children();
$node_to_delete = $kids[0];
unset($node_to_delete);
-- this won't cut it because i would just unset $node_to_delete,
right?
i am not entirely sure what the children() method returns but i guess
it is a reference into the tree and unset()ting the reference wont buy
me anything. as far as i understand php and references, that is. this
would only work if children() would return a true pointer, i think.
any further suggestions? i really need this; if i wasnt such a poor c
programmer i'd implement it myself...
tia,
peter.
