#44926 [Opn->WFx]: DOMDocument::__set_state function does not exists

ID: 44926 Updated by: chregu@php.net Reported By: francesco dot spegni at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: DOM XML related Operating System: ubuntu PHP Version: 5.2.6 New Comment: What do you want to achieve with that anyway? You can't var_export a DOMDocument, not at least to something useful. You have to use ->saveXML and ->loadXML(), if you want to serialize a DOMDocument. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-06 10:15:12] francesco dot spegni at gmail dot com Description: ------------ please, my php version is not actually 5.2.6, but PHP 5.2.4-2ubuntu5 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2. i'm sorry to have cheated, but i was not able to install the last version without messing my system, and looking for the changelogs i didn't find any reference to a problem like the one i'm signaling. to me, it seems that the version i have is the last one in the ubuntu's repositories. when i execute the following code, var_export produce a DOMDocument::__set_state call, but the eval function says that DOMDocument::__set_state function does not exist. Fatal error: Call to undefined method DOMDocument::__set_state() in /home/spegni/Eclipse/workspace/automa_interpreter/test_bug.php(8) : eval()'d code on line 1 i've searched through the documentation, finding nothing interesting and to me it seems a buggy behavior. let me know if i'm wrong. many thanks in advance. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $foo = new DOMDocument(); $strCode = "\$object = " . var_export($foo, TRUE) . "; return 1;"; print "execute: \n\n".$strCode."\n"; $resEval = eval($strCode); print "eval returned: " . $resEval . "\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- i expect the eval code to be executed without error and return result "1" Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Call to undefined method DOMDocument::__set_state() in /home/spegni/Eclipse/workspace/automa_interpreter/test_bug.php(8) : eval()'d code on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44926&edit=1
