#43107 [NEW]: access level of DOM* properties are not applied

From: php at benjaminschulz dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.3CVS-2007-10-26 (CVS) PHP Bug Type: DOM XML related Bug description: access level of DOM* properties are not applied Description: ------------ I need to restrict the direct setting of DOM* properties to ensure that no non-utf8 encoding is getting into the Document because libxml2 (ext/dom?) still can't handle that. Implementing this i discovered that classes derived from DOM* cannot restrict the access level of properties. I think there should at least be an error raised telling that it is not allowed to change the access level of properties, but because of libxml's great segfaulting abilities i would prefer to able to restrict the access (without a magic setter). Another solution for the encoding problem might be to just check _all_ incoming strings into the DomDocument for unicode if the documents encoding is UTF-8. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Test extends DomDocument { protected $textContent; } $test = new Test; $test->loadXml('<foo>bar</foo>'); var_dump($test->textContent); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal Error: Cannot access protected property Text::$textContent Actual result: -------------- string(3) "bar" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43107&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43107&r=mysqlcfg
