Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61822&edit=1 ID: 61822 Updated by: yohgaki@php.net Reported by: Aldo at WebVyz dot com Summary: asXML($filename) url-decodes $filename -Status: Open +Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: SimpleXML related Operating System: Linux -PHP Version: 5.3.10 +PHP Version: * Block user comment: N Private report: N Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-04-23 02:16:46] Aldo at WebVyz dot com Description: ------------ I was saving a SimpleXML object and kept getting errors that the file could not be written. Upon further examination, I discovered that the directory containg an url-encoded slash (%2F) and while the directory existed as an encoded string (e.g. 'dir1%2Fdir2/file.xml') asXML was explicitly unencoding it and attempting to write to a different directory (which does not exist, e.g. 'dir1/dir2.xml'). No amounts of double-encoding the filename succeeded in creating the file successfully (same error) so I had to resort to file_put_contents("{$dirname}/file.xml", $sXML->saveXML()); Test script: --------------- $sXML = new SimpleXMLElement('<result />'); $filename = 'dir1%2Fdir2/result.xml'; mkdir(dirname($filename)); file_put_contents($filename, $sXML->asXML()); // works as expected $sXML->asXML($filename); // fails; no such file/directory Expected result: ---------------- Filename arguments given to asXML should be accepted without url-decoding Actual result: -------------- filenames are being url-decoded, which is not what I want or expect ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61822&edit=1
