Bug #18387 Updated: Incorrect work with xml encoding

ID: 18387 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: svazulia@tvc.ru Status: Open -Bug Type: DOM XML related +Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows (98,2000) PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: reclassified Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-17 13:48:52] flying@dom.natm.ru I think it is expected behaviour. According to XML specification the only encodings, XML parsers must support are UTF-8 and UTF-16. libxml2 by default supports them and iso-8859-1. So you should workaround your problem by converting your XML documents to UTF-8 (you can also do it on the fly using iconv() function). 2 PHP Developers: I think this bug should be moved to "Documentation problem" category, because documentation miss this important note about list of supported encodings and how to handle documents with other encodings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-17 03:55:14] svazulia@tvc.ru short script: <?php if(!$dom = domxml_open_file("b00000000001.xml")) { echo "Error while parsing the document\n"; exit; } $root = $dom->document_element(); print_r($root); ?> return: "Error while parsing the document" when xml document has encoding option, like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding='WINDOWS-1251' ?> without "encoding='WINDOWS-1251'" it work ok. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18387&edit=1
