Are there any specific PHP functions or methods that are recommended for restructuring DOM elements within a document?

When restructuring DOM elements within a document using PHP, the `DOMDocument` class and its related methods are commonly used. Specifically, the `createElement`, `appendChild`, `insertBefore`, and `removeChild` methods are recommended for creating, moving, and deleting DOM elements. These methods allow you to manipulate the structure of the DOM document efficiently. 

// Example code snippet demonstrating how to restructure DOM elements within a document
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML($html);

// Create a new element
$newElement = $dom->createElement('div', 'New Element');

// Append the new element to an existing element
$existingElement = $dom->getElementById('existingElementId');
$existingElement->appendChild($newElement);

// Remove an existing element
$elementToRemove = $dom->getElementById('elementToRemoveId');
$elementToRemove->parentNode->removeChild($elementToRemove);

// Save the modified DOM document
$modifiedHtml = $dom->saveHTML();
