#18197 [Ana->Csd]: DOMXML module have invalid handling of namespaces

ID: 18197 Updated by: chregu@php.net Reported By: flying@dom.natm.ru -Status: Analyzed +Status: Closed Bug Type: DOM XML related Operating System: Any PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Fixed in CVS Log Message: - Added some namespace support with DomNode->add_namespace(uri, prefix) and DomDocument->create_element_ns(uri, nodename) Therefore you have to use create_element_ns, if you want to add elements with namespace (W3C spec) and maybe declare the namespace before with add_namespace() on some parent node (no w3c spec :). your example should work with the following: $child = $root->add_child($xml->create_element_ns('http://www.m.com/','child')); chregu Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-14 05:16:08] chregu@php.net it looks like domxml can't create nodes with namespaces right now. for creating nodes with namespaces, there is the DOM spec method createElementNS(namespaceURI,name), i will implement this soon. chregu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-06 06:11:20] flying@dom.natm.ru DOM XML module handle XML namespaces in a wrong way. Take a look at a simple example: <?php $xml = xmldoc('<?xml version="1.0"?><root xmlns:m="http://www.m.com/"/>'); $root = $xml->root(); $child = $root->add_child($xml->create_element('m:child')); echo 'Namespace prefix: '.$child->prefix().'<br>'; echo 'Node name: '.$child->tagname().'<br>'; ?> It is obvious, that result should be: Namespace prefix: m Node name: child But instead we have: Namespace prefix: Node name: m:child Moreover, it is even possible to create nodes with undeclared namespaces, like: $child = $root->add_child($xml->create_element('q:child')); and it will not return any errors. But XML document itself will be invalid after it, because of undeclared namespace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18197&edit=1
