Bug #55279 [NEW]: SimpleXml removes line breaks
From:
Operating system: Windows
PHP version: 5.3.6
Package: SimpleXML related
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:SimpleXml removes line breaks
Description:
------------
SimpleXML seems to ignore/remove line breaks (\n) in the attributes. Line
breaks
inside an attribute are valid XML, but they're lost when you use SimpleXML
to read
the XML data.
I encountered this problem when reading XML data provided by the Google
Webmaster
Tools API
Test script:
---------------
XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<feed><entry description="this is the first line
here's a second line
and another!" /></feed>
PHP:
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmldata);
foreach ($xml->entry as $entry)
{
$attributes = $entry->attributes();
print_r($attributes);
}
Expected result:
----------------
Keep the line breaks from the attribute values after reading the string.
$attributes['description'] == "this is the first line
here's a second line
and another!";
Actual result:
--------------
The string no longer contains line breaks:
$attributes['description'] == "this is the first line here's a second line
and
another!";
