The name node isn't a child of root, it's a child of a device node. The device node is the child of root.

Try removing it from its parent element instead:

$root = $xmlDoc->documentElement;$child2 = $root->getElementsByTagName("name")->item(0);$child2->parent->removeChild($child2);

Also, you might prefer replaceChild.
