Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-16 09:25:29] ivan dot enderlin at hoa-project dot net I think it's not a normal behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-16 09:22:31] jpauli@php.net http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_4/ext/libxml/libxml.c#1058 libxml_disable_entity_loader(true) registers a NULL function (http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_4/ext/libxml/libxml.c#372) as callback for URI input file handling in libxml. So you cant open any file with libxml after having called this function. Is that the correct behavior ? I have no clue to answer that ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-16 08:56:06] ivan dot enderlin at hoa-project dot net Description: ------------ The function simplexml_load_file() failed to open any file (existing or not) if libxml_disable_entity_loader(true) has been called. I have tried with simplexml_load_string(), it works; same with new SimpleXMLElement() etc. The bug is restricted to the simplexml_load_file() function. Test script: --------------- <?php libxml_use_internal_errors(true); libxml_disable_entity_loader(true); $xml = simplexml_load_file('foo'); print_r(libxml_get_errors()); var_dump($xml); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( ) … Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => LibXMLError Object ( [level] => 1 [code] => 1549 [column] => 0 [message] => failed to load external entity "foo" [file] => [line] => 0 ) ) bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62577&edit=1
