#38813 [NEW]: DOMEntityReference->__construct crashed when called explicitly

From: ladislav dot prosek at matfyz dot cz Operating system: Windows XP SP2 Pro PHP version: 5.1.6 PHP Bug Type: DOM XML related Bug description: DOMEntityReference->__construct crashed when called explicitly Description: ------------ DOM XML classes contain __construct methods that behave in a quite unexpected way. You can call the constructor explicitly ending up with a broken object (e.g. "Couldn't fetch DOMAttr. Node no longer exists" whenever you access a method/property of the object). Nevertheless, the constructor of DOMEntityReference, which is the subject of this report, is broken completely. Reproduce code: --------------- <? $ent = new DOMEntityReference("a"); $ent->__construct("b"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- You decide :) Actual result: -------------- * CRASH * -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38813&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38813&r=mysqlcfg
