#12286 [Fbk]: xml_parse isn't returning FALSE with malformed <?xml ...?> element

ID: 12286 Updated by: chregu@php.net Reported By: jacek.prucia@7bulls.com Status: Feedback Bug Type: XML related Operating System: Debian Potato 2.2 (Linux 2.2.17) PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: xml_parse has nothing to do with libxml, it uses the expat library. Just as a clarification :) chregu Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-17 02:06:55] kalowsky@php.net this actually sounds more like a problem with the library than the PHP code. Have you tried a recent version of the libxml to see if this still continues? While you're at it, do try a newer version of PHP too, although I don't believe the xml extension has changed much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-20 11:25:17] jacek.prucia@7bulls.com consider XML file beginning with: <?xml version='1.0'?> everything is just fine, but let us have a small typo - lack of question sign at the end like this: <?xml version='1.0'> this isn't correct, but xml_parse() isn't returning FALSE (as it is supposed to do in case of an error). Instead xml_parse() goes on but it isn't able to find any XML element which gives impression of xml_parse() being totally dead... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12286&edit=1
