#46191 [NEW]: Back-comp break: DOMDocument::saveXML() doesn't accept null anymore
From: zizka at seznam dot cz
Operating system: Any
PHP version: 5.2.6
PHP Bug Type: DOM XML related
Bug description: Back-comp break: DOMDocument::saveXML() doesn't accept null anymore
Description:
------------
In PHP 5.2.5, DOMDocument::saveXML() accepted null as it's first argument,
which has this documentation:
Use this parameter to output only a specific node without XML declaration
rather than the entire document.
In PHP 5.2.6, passing null causes error.
Reproduce code:
---------------
// $doc is a DOM document object.
return $doc->saveXML(null, LIBXML_NOEMPTYTAG);
Expected result:
----------------
IMHO null is reasonable value, meaning that whole document should be
saved. I suggest to fix this backward compatibility break.
Actual result:
--------------
Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to DOMDocument::saveXML() must be
an instance of DOMNode, null given, called in ...\index.php on line 97 and
defined in ...\inc.Menu.php on line 23
