It didn't work : ----------------------------------------------------------------- root@wheezyDEVLaurent:~# php --version PHP 5.4.4-14+deb7u9 (cli) (built: Apr 18 2014 14:34:31) Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies with Xdebug v2.2.1, Copyright (c) 2002-2012, by Derick Rethans root@wheezyDEVLaurent:~# php <?php $oDOMElement = new DOMElement('balise'); var_dump($oDOMElement); ?> class DOMElement#1 (0) { } root@wheezyDEVLaurent:~# ----------------------------------------------------------------- I also tested it on Ubuntu Trusty with PHP 5.5.9 and it worked. I don't know why it doesn't work in Debian. Maybe the commit did not make it to the stable version of Debian. Since it seems to work in later versions, feel free to close the bug. I'll continue to use work-arounds with Wheezy.
