#50576 [NEW]: XML_OPTION_SKIP_TAGSTART option has no effect

From: pgacv2 at gmail dot com Operating system: Ubuntu 9.10 PHP version: 5.2.12 PHP Bug Type: XML related Bug description: XML_OPTION_SKIP_TAGSTART option has no effect Description: ------------ I'm actually running PHP 5.2.10 (that came with Ubuntu 9.10), but I can't compile a newer snapshot because my system suffers from bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/81057 and the make install hangs when trying to fetch http://pear.php.net/install-pear-nozlib.phar. But there's nothing in the bug database with "XML_OPTION_SKIP_TAGSTART," so maybe no one's noticed this one before. Setting XML_OPTION_SKIP_TAGSTART through xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_TAGSTART, $x) has no effect. Instead of skipping $x number of characters from the beginning of the tag name (like to remove a namespace), it leaves the tag name whole. Reproduce code: --------------- test.xml: <?xml version="1.0"?> <ns1:listOfAwards xmlns:ns1="http://www.fpdsng.com/FPDS"> <ns1:count> <ns1:total>867</ns1:total> </ns1:count> </ns1:listOfAwards> Code: <?php function startElement($parser, $tagName, $attrs) { echo "$tagName\n"; } $xml_parser = xml_parser_create(); xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, 'startElement', ''); xml_parser_set_option($xml_parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_TAGSTART, 4); if (!($fp = fopen('test.xml', 'r'))) { die('could not open XML input'); } while($data = fread($fp, 4096)) { if(!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) { die(sprintf('XML error: %s at line %d', xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)), xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser))); } } xml_parser_free($xml_parser); ?> Expected result: ---------------- LISTOFAWARDS COUNT TOTAL Actual result: -------------- NS1:LISTOFAWARDS NS1:COUNT NS1:TOTAL -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50576&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50576&r=mysqlcfg
