Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-04 08:04:31] aharvey@php.net By definition, it's not valid XML. It's already possible to use SimpleXML to manipulate this markup by using DOMDocument::loadHTML() first; eg: $doc = new DOMDocument; $doc->loadHTML($xml); $a = simplexml_import_dom($doc->documentElement); I don't really see any point complicating the SimpleXML API to support this, given the workaround is that easy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-04 07:03:44] frederic dot auguste at gmail dot com Description: ------------ We would like to manipulate and genere HTML5 microformat. Parsing a HTML5 microformat with simpleXML is not possible : Some warning are generated and simplexml_load_string function return false. The problem is with the itemscope attribute : It has no value. Our XML is available on this web site : http://schema.org/Person Can you add these manipulations in simpleXML API ? * add attribut without value * parsing XML with attribute without value. Thanks. Test script: --------------- <?php $xml = <<<XML <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> <span itemprop="name">Jane Doe</span> <img src="janedoe.jpg" itemprop="image" /> <span itemprop="jobTitle">Professor</span> <div itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress"> <span itemprop="streetAddress"> 20341 Whitworth Institute 405 N. Whitworth </span> <span itemprop="addressLocality">Seattle</span>, <span itemprop="addressRegion">WA</span> <span itemprop="postalCode">98052</span> </div> <span itemprop="telephone">(425) 123-4567</span> <a href="mailto:jane-doe@xyz.edu" itemprop="email"> jane-doe@xyz.edu</a> Jane's home page: <a href="www.janedoe.com" itemprop="url">janedoe.com</a> Graduate students: <a href="www.xyz.edu/students/alicejones.html" itemprop="colleagues"> Alice Jones</a> <a href="www.xyz.edu/students/bobsmith.html" itemprop="colleagues"> Bob Smith</a> </div> XML; $a = simplexml_load_string($xml); if($a == false) { echo "XML not valid"; } else { echo $a->asXML(); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55127&edit=1
