Req #54698 [NEW]: setAttribute

From: Operating system: (irrelevant) PHP version: Irrelevant Package: DOM XML related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:setAttribute Description: ------------ It makes more sense for setAttribute() to return the object it was called on instead of the attribute that was set. If I was interested in the attribute, I'd have use createAttribute() instead. Test script: --------------- $dom = new DOMDocument(); $body = $dom->createElement('body'); $dom->appendChild($body->setAttribute('class', 'wrapper')); echo $dom->saveHTML(); Expected result: ---------------- I would expect that it would properly append $body to the $dom. Actual result: -------------- Warning: DOMNode::appendChild() [domnode.appendchild]: Couldn't append node in _FILE_ on _LINE_. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54698&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54698&r=mysqlcfg
