Thank you for your interest in PHP. behvaior is from libxml2 and it is correct (read the xhtml specs) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-23 22:58:36] php at phihag dot de Description: ------------ When creating a <head> tag inside a XHTML document which is designated as that by a specified doctype, a strange tag is inserted automatically. I suppose this is because http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-HTML-Output-Method specifies this for HTML output. However, this tag is even wrong in this XHTML case because it states "Content-Type: text/html" instead of the right "Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml". Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $doc = new DOMDOcument(); $doc->loadXML('<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">' . '<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" />'); $head = $doc->documentElement->appendChild($doc->createElement("head")); echo $doc->saveXML(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head /> </html> Actual result: -------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head></html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40906&edit=1
