Bug #51325 [NEW]: DOMDocument::load() UTF-8 limitation
From:
Operating system: Windows WAMP + LAMP(?)
PHP version: 5.3.2
Package: DOM XML related
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:DOMDocument::load() UTF-8 limitation
Description:
------------
The DOMDocument::load() function ONLY loads UTF-8 encoded files.
Ex: 'article.php' contains :
$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
$page = 'article.xsl';
$xmlDoc->load($page);
$xmlDoc->load('cours.xml');
Let's consider 'article.xsl' contains '... Précédent ...' (not pure
ASCII
chars)
If the content of 'article.xsl' is iso-8859-1 encoded, the subsequent
error
appears (same if 'cours.xml' is iso-8859-1 encoded):
"DOMDocument::load() [domdocument.load]: Input is not proper UTF-8,
indicate encoding ! Bytes: 0xE9 0x62 0x75 0x74 in
file:///C:/wamp/www/xsl2/article.xsl, line: 71 in
C:\wamp\www\xsl2\article.php on line 13"
So, it's imperative to UTF-8 encode 'cours.xml' and 'article.xsl'.
Of course $page = utf8_encode($page); ... is of no use,
because the 'utf8_encode' only operates on the string 'article.xsl', and
not on the file content !.
CONCLUSION : It's not really a BUG in the ->load() function.
But it would be really important to have a supplementary optional
parameter,
indicating the encoding of the incoming file:
-----Desired improvment ----------->
Add an optional parameter describing the $file actual encoding:
$xmlDoc->load($page, 'iso-8859-1');
DOMDocument::load( string $file [, string $encoding])
The $encoding optional parameter thus would be useful to describe the
actual $file encoding (if not UTF-8).
----------- END ----------------------
Test script:
---------------
[test.php]
<?php
$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->load("cours.xml");
?>
[cours.xml] (no matter the line encoding...
The problem is caused by the 'é' from 'éclair'...)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
