Comments by Daniel Veillard on the libxml ML: The only thing I can think of is that libxml2 doesn't anymore ask though a SAX callback when looking for entities references if they are in the predefined set. This comes in essence by an old decision from the XML working group stating that user definition for those 5 entities could not override the default predefined ones. So I guess that change is logical. Now what is done on top of SAX to result in that bug, I don't really know :-\ Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-09-06 15:43:29] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assigned to the maintainer (Rob, don't forget to change status too when you assign something to yourself :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-09-04 17:29:21] phpbugs at colin dot guthr dot ie Description: ------------ With libxml2 2.7.1, When using the expat type xml parsing routines in PHP, the characater data seems to silently drop any encoded text e.g. > < and friends. Please see Mandriva bug for details: https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=43486 And also please note the thread on the libxml mailing list: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.lib.xml.general/14610 And most notably the reply to the above thread: <quote> Can you report this as a PHP bug? It looks like some really old hack code in the PHP extension in order to mimic some specific expat functionality. The behavior change you see though resulting from a code changes in libxml2 is really due to the hackish code in the extension doing things it wasnt meant to be doing. </quote> Reproduce code: --------------- Please see this code: https://qa.mandriva.com/attachment.cgi?id=10757 Expected result: ---------------- < foo > wibble < /foo > Actual result: -------------- foo wibble /foo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45996&edit=1
