From: sta at netimage dot dk Operating system: FreeBSD 7.1 PHP version: 5.2.11 PHP Bug Type: XML related Bug description: libxml 2.7.3+ limits text nodes to 10MB
Description: ------------ Since version 2.7.3 libxml limits the maximum size of a single text node to 10MB. The limit can be removed with a new option, XML_PARSE_HUGE. PHP has no way to specify this option to libxml. I found the bug when making af SOAP-request where the reply contained a 20MB string. SoapClient->__call() threw an exception: 'looks like we got no XML document' Using libxml_use_internal_errors(true) and libxml_get_errors() I could narrow it down to a LibXMLError, code 5, 'Extra content at the end of the document' - but the specified line and column was in the middle of a large text node. Using SoapClient->__getLastResponse() I saved the response to a file. The xmllib program xmllint then revealed the cause: > xmllint --noout soap_response.txt soap_response.txt:111834: error: xmlSAX2Characters: huge text node: out of memory We need a way to specify the XML_PARSE_HUGE option to libxml - perhaps something like a new function: libxml_parse_huge(true). Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $xml = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?><test>" . str_repeat('A', 12000000) . "</test>"; file_put_contents('file.xml', $xml); $sxe = simplexml_load_file('file.xml'); if ($sxe instanceof SimpleXMLElement) { echo 'OK\n'; } else { var_dump($sxe); } Expected result: ---------------- OK Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: simplexml_load_file(): file.xml:1: error: xmlSAX2Characters: huge text node: out of memory in /usr/dana/data/developers/holst/mobilmap/cron/xml.php on line 5 PHP Warning: simplexml_load_file(): AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA in /usr/dana/data/developers/holst/mobilmap/cron/xml.php on line 5 PHP Warning: simplexml_load_file(): ^ in /usr/dana/data/developers/holst/mobilmap/cron/xml.php on line 5 bool(false) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49660&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49660&r=mysqlcfg
