#42034 [Opn->Bgs]: Attributes not deleted properly

ID: 42034 Updated by: rrichards@php.net Reported By: mail_ben_schmidt at yahoo dot com dot au -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: SimpleXML related Operating System: Mac OS X PHP Version: 5CVS-2007-07-18 (snap) New Comment: 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 The attributes are accessed based on the namespace scope the SimpleXMLElement object is currently in. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-18 16:15:16] mail_ben_schmidt at yahoo dot com dot au Description: ------------ In SimpleXML, when deleting attributes via 'unset', attributes having the same namespace as the element (or some such wrong namespace) are deleted rather than the non-prefixed one which is the one actually appearing in the 'array' (or not appearing--it can still be deleted if it does not appear). Reproduce code: --------------- $str=<<<DONE <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <root xmlns="http://localhost/a" xmlns:ns="http://localhost/a" xmlns:other="http://localhost/b" > <elem attr="abc"/> <elem ns:attr="abc"/> <elem other:attr="abc"/> <ns:elem attr="abc"/> <ns:elem ns:attr="abc"/> <ns:elem other:attr="abc"/> <other:elem attr="abc"/> <other:elem ns:attr="abc"/> <other:elem other:attr="abc"/> </root> DONE; $xml = simplexml_load_string($str); foreach ($xml->elem as $elem) { unset($elem['attr']); } foreach ($xml->children('http://localhost/a')->elem as $elem) { unset($elem['attr']); } foreach ($xml->children('http://localhost/b')->elem as $elem) { unset($elem['attr']); } echo $xml->asXML(); Expected result: ---------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <root xmlns="http://localhost/a" xmlns:ns="http://localhost/a" xmlns:other="http://localhost/b"> <elem/> <elem ns:attr="abc"/> <elem other:attr="abc"/> <ns:elem/> <ns:elem ns:attr="abc"/> <ns:elem other:attr="abc"/> <other:elem/> <other:elem ns:attr="abc"/> <other:elem other:attr="abc"/> </root> Actual result: -------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <root xmlns="http://localhost/a" xmlns:ns="http://localhost/a" xmlns:other="http://localhost/b"> <elem/> <elem/> <elem other:attr="abc"/> <ns:elem attr="abc"/> <ns:elem/> <ns:elem other:attr="abc"/> <other:elem attr="abc"/> <other:elem ns:attr="abc"/> <other:elem/> </root> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42034&edit=1
