Idea about helper functions is from one of the comments for DOM on php.net and idea about using unset is from kavoir.com. For me this solution finally worked:

function Myunset($node) { unsetChildren($node); $parent = $node->parentNode; unset($node); } function unsetChildren($node) { while (isset($node->firstChild)) { unsetChildren($node->firstChild); unset($node->firstChild); } }

using it: $xml is SimpleXmlElement

Myunset($xml->channel->item[$i]);

The result is stored in $xml, so don’t worry about assigning it to any variable.
