Bug #65569 [Nab]: 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: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: DOM XML related Operating System: Debian Linux PHP Version: 5.4.19 Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Hi, Thanks for the feedback and showing me that the bug was because of incorrect node value and not because of additionnal DOMText elements. I opened another bug report for correcting node value instead, as you suggested. Best regards, Laurent Lyaudet Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-07-08 17:31:00] cmb@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. A slight modification of your first test script (see <http://3v4l.org/VmfC7>) shows that the grand-children are not iterated over. "LIV_CFM" and "Conforme" are yield by ::nodeValue (what may be considered a bug, but that should be reported in a separate ticket). The results of the second test script also do not contain grand-children; there are 5 children and these are printed as DOMElement, while the TextNodes are built from the whitespace between the elements. Simply strip all whitespace, and you get the desired result (see <http://3v4l.org/YsTE8>). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-12-13 10:24:42] Laurent dot Lyaudet at gmail dot com Hi, the bug appears with this test script : <?php 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'; } } } $xml = new DOMDocument(); $xml->loadXml('<balise> <ata>2013-08-20T17:13:25</ata> <atd>2013-08-20T17:15:03</atd> <callSequence>1</callSequence> <actualCallSequence>2</actualCallSequence> <clauseInfo> <clause>LIV_CFM</clause> <description>Conforme</description> </clauseInfo> </balise>'); debugSousBalises($xml->documentElement); ?> It gives ata : 2013-08-20T17:13:25 atd : 2013-08-20T17:15:03 callSequence : 1 actualCallSequence : 2 clauseInfo : LIV_CFM Conforme as explained. If you don't use my debug function but use your loop with echo, the following test script yields also something buggy : <?php $xml = new DOMDocument(); $xml->loadXml('<balise> <ata>2013-08-20T17:13:25</ata> <atd>2013-08-20T17:15:03</atd> <callSequence>1</callSequence> <actualCallSequence>2</actualCallSequence> <clauseInfo> <clause>LIV_CFM</clause> <description>Conforme</description> </clauseInfo> </balise>'); foreach ($xml->documentElement->childNodes as $childnode) { echo get_class($childnode) . "\n"; } ?> yields DOMText DOMElement DOMText DOMElement DOMText DOMElement DOMText DOMElement DOMText DOMElement DOMText Best regards, Laurent Lyaudet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-12-12 09:09:36] maus at hab dot de In your example the nodes B1 and B2 do not have text content. I cannot reproduce this bug: php --version PHP 5.5.16 (cli) (built: Aug 21 2014 14:25:20) Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies with Xdebug v2.2.5, Copyright (c) 2002-2014, by Derick Rethans <?php $xml = new DOMDocument(); $xml->loadXml('<R><A1><B1>B1</B1><B2>B2</B2></A1><A2/></R>'); foreach ($xml->documentElement->childNodes as $childnode) { echo get_class($childnode) . "\n"; } Gives: DOMElement DOMElement Where is the bug in your first example? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-02-23 11:44:48] Laurent dot Lyaudet at gmail dot com 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-12-02 16:24:30] mike@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.
