#38823 [Bgs]: DOMComment->appendData does nothing

ID: 38823 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: ladislav dot prosek at matfyz dot cz Status: Bogus Bug Type: DOM XML related Operating System: Windows XP SP2 Pro PHP Version: 5.1.6 New Comment: Yes, please report it to libxml2 developers. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-14 12:57:02] ladislav dot prosek at matfyz dot cz If you replace $x->appendData("b") with $x->insertData(1, "b"), it will produce the expected output.
