#43107 [Opn->Asn]: access level of DOM* properties are not applied

Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-26 07:02:09] php at benjaminschulz dot com 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43107&edit=1
