PHP, Deleting XML Values

[randomnoob]

I Have an XML Document. I have worked out how to add an assignment, but I don't know how to delete one.

<assignmentlookup>
<assignment>
<name>maths</name>
<due>duedate</due>
<marks>outof20</marks>
</assignment>
<assignment>
<name>english</name>
<due>duedate</due>
<marks>outof10</marks>
</assignment>
</assignmentlookup>

How would I go about deleting this whole block from the document.

<assignment>
<name>english</name>
<due>duedate</due>
<marks>outof10</marks>
</assignment>

I would prefer the answer was using the DOM library.

Are you mocking me or something :S?

The only deleting that site shows is the removal of text nodes.

From the site:


you can use the deleteData function to delete some characters after you have created a text node.

I am interested in removing elements.
