#44619 [Bgs]: XMLWriter doesn't escape CDATA

ID: 44619 Updated by: rrichards@php.net Reported By: evert at rooftopsolutions dot nl Status: Bogus Bug Type: XML Writer Operating System: Debian PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: There are a lot of things that will break XML if put into CDATA sections. In most cases, data should be encoded and CDATA sections not used. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-02 21:09:02] evert at rooftopsolutions dot nl Should this be a documentation bug then? Nested CDATA tags are never allowed.. See also wikipedia, which actually recommends a similar approach: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cdata ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-02 21:05:06] 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 no escaping is supposed to be performed. It is up to you to make sure that the data is acceptable there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-02 20:12:23] evert at rooftopsolutions dot nl Description: ------------ XMLWriter does not escape ]]> in the writeCDATA method Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $xml = new XMLWriter(); $xml->openMemory(); $xml->startDocument(); $xml->startElement('test'); $xml->writeCDATA('<![CDATA[blabla]]>'); $xml->endElement(); echo $xml->outputMemory(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <test><![CDATA[<![CDATA[blabla]]]]><![CDATA[>]]></test> Actual result: -------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <test><![CDATA[<![CDATA[blabla]]>]]></test> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44619&edit=1
