Bug #18197: DOMXML module have invalid handling of namespaces

From: flying@dom.natm.ru Operating system: Any PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: DOM XML related Bug description: DOMXML module have invalid handling of namespaces DOM XML module handle XML namespaces in a wrong way. Take a look at a simple example: <?php $xml = xmldoc('<?xml version="1.0"?><root xmlns:m="http://www.m.com/"/>'); $root = $xml->root(); $child = $root->add_child($xml->create_element('m:child')); echo 'Namespace prefix: '.$child->prefix().'<br>'; echo 'Node name: '.$child->tagname().'<br>'; ?> It is obvious, that result should be: Namespace prefix: m Node name: child But instead we have: Namespace prefix: Node name: m:child Moreover, it is even possible to create nodes with undeclared namespaces, like: $child = $root->add_child($xml->create_element('q:child')); and it will not return any errors. But XML document itself will be invalid after it, because of undeclared namespace. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18197&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18197&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18197&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18197&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18197&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18197&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18197&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18197&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18197&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18197&r=globals
