Bug #65569 [Fbk->Opn]: ChildNodes of DOMNodes list great childs, etc. as DOMText

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65569&edit=1 ID: 65569 User updated by: Laurent dot Lyaudet at gmail dot com Reported by: Laurent dot Lyaudet at gmail dot com Summary: ChildNodes of DOMNodes list great childs, etc. as DOMText -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Type: Bug Package: DOM XML related Operating System: Debian Linux PHP Version: 5.4.19 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Hi, I'm not sure what information is missing from the bug description but here are more explanations : - an XML document is mainly a syntactical formulation of a rooted labeled tree structure. - in a rooted tree structure, "A is the parent of B" means that A is adjacent (linked by an edge) to B and A is on the path between B and the root of the tree (B may be the root of the tree). If "A is the parent of B", "B is a child of A". Let R be the label of the root, consider the following example: R / \ A1 A2 / \ B1 B2 Nodes with labels A1 and A2 are "children" of node with label R. Nodes with labels B1 and B2 are "grandchildren" of node with label R. This labeled tree can be represented by the following XML : <R> <A1> <B1/> <B2/> </A1> <A2/> </R> Assume R is a DOMNode, expected content of childNodes of R : A1, A2 as DOMElements actual bugged content of childNodes of R : A1 as DOMElement, text content of B1 as DOMText, text content of B2 as DOMText, A2 as DOMElement Best regards, Laurent Lyaudet Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-12-02 16:24:30] mike@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.

It is similar to bug 40175 but more detailed. Moreover I don't see why the manual is cited as a justification for bug 40175: from http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.domnode.php : > childNodes > > A DOMNodeList that contains all children of this node. If there are no >children, this is > an empty DOMNodeList. I join a debug function to supplement the bug in var_dump (see bug 65565 : https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65565&thanks=4). function debugSousBalises($p_oBalise){ for($i = 0; $i < $p_oBalise->childNodes->length; ++$i){ $oNode = $p_oBalise->childNodes->item($i); //var_dump($oNode); switch(get_class($oNode)){ case 'DOMText': echo $oNode->wholeText; break; case 'DOMElement': echo $oNode->tagName.' : '.$oNode->nodeValue; break; default: echo get_class($oNode).' pas encore pris en compte'; } } } used on the following fragment of xml <balise> <ata>2013-08-20T17:13:25</ata> <atd>2013-08-20T17:15:03</atd> <callSequence>1</callSequence> <actualCallSequence>2</actualCallSequence> <clauseInfo> <clause>LIV_CFM</clause> <description>Conforme</description> </clauseInfo> </balise> it will yield: ata : 2013-08-20T17:13:25 atd : 2013-08-20T17:15:03 callSequence : 1 actualCallSequence : 2 clauseInfo : LIV_CFM Conforme Best regards, Laurent Lyaudet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65569&edit=1
