ID: 43686 Updated by: rrichards@php.net Reported By: programatorfreez at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Gentoo GNU/Linux PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: Maybe you should read the docs before stating something is broken: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocumentfragment-appendxml.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-12-27 02:50:09] programatorfreez at gmail dot com Description: ------------ You're missing a very handful feature and it's pretty annoying to make a workaround which cannot perform exactly what I need until PHP is fixed. Reproduce code: --------------- This is my crappy workaround for the missing Dom->importString(), however the support in DOM should be made. /** * Import a string like something<br /><strong>strong</strong> into the DomDocument * * @param string string * @param DomElement parent * @return DomElement reference to imported node */ public function importString($string, $parent) { if ($parent === NULL) { throw new Exception('Parent cannot be NULL.'); } $tmp = new DomDocument('1.0', 'utf-8'); // The div is unwanted here, but loadXml doesn't work without it $tmp->loadXml('<div>' . $string . '</div>'); return $this->domImportNode($tmp->firstChild); } Actual result: -------------- PHP DOM doesn't provide any similar functionaly, although it's needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43686&edit=1
