#47747 [Bgs]: DOMAttr returns incomplete attribute name

ID: 47747 User updated by: mpeters at mac dot com Reported By: mpeters at mac dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: DOM XML related Operating System: CentOS 5.2 PHP Version: 5.2.9 New Comment: Not bogus - There is no way via DOMAttr to even know that an attribute name is part of a nanespace because DOMAttr->name DROPS the namespace and DOMAttr does not provide a facility by which to even know it was ever there.

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 Forgot to set it Bogus :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-22 20:15:23] chregu@php.net you have to use the NS aware functions like setAttributeNS to get the correct behaivour, eg: $tag- >setAttributeNS("http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace","xml:lang","en"); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-22 12:54:22] mpeters at mac dot com Full php demonstration - The code that demonstrates: http://www.clfsrpm.net/bugs/domattr.phps Execution of code: http://www.clfsrpm.net/bugs/domattr.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-22 11:24:30] mpeters at mac dot com Description: ------------ I'm using php 5.2.5 - upgrading is not possible. Sorry. DOMattr->name does not include anything before a : nor provide a way to access what was before a : in an attribute name. Reproduce code: --------------- Let's say $node refers to the following node - <something xml:lang="en" foo="alpha" bar="beta" /> $attributes = $node->attributes; foreach ($attributes as attribute) { print ($attribute->name . "\n"); } will result in lang foo bar notice the xml: is missing from before the lang. DOMAttr provides no way to know that lang had a xml: before it. However - $node->hasAttribute('lang') is false while $node->hasAttribute('xml:lang') is true Expected result: ---------------- Either $DOMAttr->name needs to provide the full attribute name including namespace or provide a way to know what (if any) the namespace for the attribute name is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47747&edit=1
