#48898 [NEW]: readOuterXML() doesn't work on DTDs

From: boen dot robot at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows Vista Ultimate x64 SP2 PHP version: 5.3.0 PHP Bug Type: XML Reader Bug description: readOuterXML() doesn't work on DTDs Description: ------------ When reading an XML document with XMLReader, you can't use readOuterXML() to read the value of some node types, DTD being the most noticeable and disturbing one. While for readInnerXML(), the "inner" part may be hard to define in those node types, the "outer" is always clearly the whole node, and all of its descendants. If the root of the problem is in libxml, may I ask the maintainers of this extension to forward this to libxml's authors? I'm not a C user of libxml, so coming in with a runnable test case for libxml's authors would be hard. PHP runs on Apache 2.2.9 as CGI, and is the VC6 x86 Thread-safe build (just in case it matters). Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $reader = new XMLReader; $reader->XML('<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>It works...</title> </head> <body> <h1>It works!</h1> </body> </html>'); $reader->read(); echo $reader->readOuterXML(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> Actual result: -------------- An empty string. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48898&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48898&r=mysqlcfg
