From: moltendorf at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.2.11 PHP Bug Type: DOM XML related Bug description: Illegal XML characters allowed (or not turned into entities) in text nodes.
Description: ------------ Adding illegal characters to a text node when saved as XML are not either converted to NCRs, or stripped. This breaks the XML, causing it to be "not well-formed" when viewed by standards-compliant browsers, like Firefox. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php header ('Content-Type: text/xml'); $document = new DOMDocument ('1.0', 'utf-8'); $element = $document -> createElement ('element'); $text = $document -> createTextNode (''); // Please copy and paste this line directly; it contains special characters that may not display correctly; and are invalid in XML based on the W3C specification. $element -> appendChild ($text); $document -> appendChild ($element); echo $document -> saveXML ( ); Expected result: ---------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <element/> Actual result: -------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <element></element> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49731&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49731&r=mysqlcfg
