Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70001&edit=1 ID: 70001 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: 2detaz at protonmail dot ch -Summary: overwrite DOMElement textContent properties with trimming +Summary: Assigning to DOMNode::textContent does additional entity encoding Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: DOM XML related Operating System: Linux Debian 7.5 Wheezy PHP Version: 5.6.10 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The missing info that DOMNode::textContent is writable as of PHP 5.6.1 has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. With regard to the additional entity encoding, I've submitted PR #1395.

From the changelog of PHP 5.6.1[1]: | Made DOMNode::textContent writeable. So this has to be documented. I'm not sure whether the entity escaping is intended.

As excepted on php5.4.42, the script returns the good result. But on php5.6, the textContent is not readonly and I don't know why PHP does some HTML entity encoding (that's weird) instead of emitting an error or a warning. Test script: --------------- $element = new DOMText(" Summary for Test DOMText & with a nbsp char right here&nbsp;."); var_dump($element->textContent); $element->textContent = ltrim(" Summary for Test DOMText & with a nbsp char right here&nbsp;."); var_dump($element->textContent); Expected result: ---------------- string(92) " Summary for Test DOMText & with a nbsp char right here&nbsp;." string(92) " Summary for Test DOMText & with a nbsp char right here&nbsp;." Actual result: -------------- string(92) " Summary for Test DOMText & with a nbsp char right here&nbsp;." string(69) "Summary for Test DOMText &amp; with a nbsp char right here&amp;nbsp;.". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70001&edit=1
