#41258 [Bgs]: setAttributeNS has inconsistent behaviour when raising exceptions

ID: 41258 User updated by: daniel dot oconnor at gmail dot com Reported By: daniel dot oconnor at gmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: DOM XML related PHP Version: 5.2.1 New Comment: This is not a functionality bug, but a usability one. Please see http://clockwerx.blogspot.com/2007/05/bogus-this.html for more detail - it expands on some of the real world use problems related to the behavior exhibited here. Take it with a grain of salt, because I've been fighting this code all day and am more than a little cranky. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-02 12:54:03] rrichards@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Line 4 is fine as namespace URI with an associated prefix already exists (it was created when from line 3). The prefix gets attached to the attribute. Error messages are not a bug, but feel free to open a feature request for more verbose messages though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-02 08:55:59] daniel dot oconnor at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Inconsistent behaviour when raising exceptions. No exception is raised until line 10 Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $d = new DOMDocument(); $example = $d->createElementNS('http://foo.com','example'); $example->setAttributeNS('http://bar.com', 'bar:bar',"value"); $example->setAttributeNS('http://bar.com', 'monkey',"value"); $d = new DOMDocument(); $example = $d->createElementNS('http://foo.com','example'); $example->setAttributeNS('http://fish.com', 'bar:bar',"value"); $example->setAttributeNS('http://bar.com', 'monkey',"value"); Expected result: ---------------- 1. An exception raised on the second setAttributeNS (line 4) 2. A more meaningful error than 'Namespace Error' - "No namespace prefix found for <http://fish.com>" Actual result: -------------- An exception on line 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41258&edit=1
