The Dom\ProcessingInstruction class

(PHP 8 >= 8.4.0)

This represents a processing instruction (PI) node. These are meant to indicate data areas meant for processing by specific applications.

This is the modern, spec-compliant equivalent of DOMProcessingInstruction.

class Dom\ProcessingInstruction extends Dom\CharacterData {

public const int Dom\Node::DOCUMENT_POSITION_CONTAINS = 0x8;

public const int Dom\Node::DOCUMENT_POSITION_CONTAINED_BY = 0x10;

public const int Dom\Node::DOCUMENT_POSITION_IMPLEMENTATION_SPECIFIC = 0x20;
