Bug #52450 [NEW]: $DomDocumentObj->encoding should not affect xml declaration

From: Operating system: all PHP version: 5.3.3 Package: DOM XML related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:$DomDocumentObj->encoding should not affect xml declaration Description: ------------ hi consider this code: i want to set utf-16 as internal encoding for domdocument because source data is utf-16 encoded $doc->encoding = "UTF-16"; but my output for web is handled by: iconv_set_encoding("internal_encoding", "UTF-16"); iconv_set_encoding("output_encoding", "UTF-8//TRANSLIT//IGNORE"); or can be handled by echo iconv("UTF-16", "UTF-8", $xmldata); so the output is utf-8 encoded but the xml declaration says: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> so $document->encoding property should work as how it works now, but it should not affect the xml declaration in plus you should provide an alternative to set $xmlEncoding (make it non-readonly) i'm sorry for my english... i hope you accept this request! thank you -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52450&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52450&r=mysqlcfg
