Bug #74241 [Opn->Nab]: DomDocument::loadHTML ignores LIBXML_NOCDATA

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74241&edit=1 ID: 74241 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: tom at r dot je Summary: DomDocument::loadHTML ignores LIBXML_NOCDATA -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: DOM XML related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 7.1.2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: LIBXML_NOCDATA, which matters at load time and not save time, is not respected because CDATA tags make no sense to have in HTML. Loading as HTML but saving as XML, or vice versa, is incorrect: either the content is HTML or it is XML. If you want to deal with HTML fragments without the DTD and implied <html> elements then use the LIBXML_HTML_NODEFDTD and LIBXML_HTML_NOIMPLIED options with loadHTML(). https://3v4l.org/8MnED Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-03-13 10:42:23] tom at r dot je Description: ------------ Using PHP 7.1 with Libxml version 2.9.4 DomDocument::loadHTML ignores LIBXML_NOCDATA. Test script: --------------- $doc = new \DomDocument(); $doc->loadHTML('<!doctype html> <html><head> <script> $().ready(function() {}); </script> </head> <body> </body> </html> ', LIBXML_NOCDATA); echo $doc->saveXML(null, LIBXML_NOCDATA); ?> Output: --------- <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html><head> <script><![CDATA[ $().ready(function() {}); ]]></script> </head> <body> </body> </html> --------- Changing loadHTML to loadXML works as expected, no <![CDATA[ appears in the output. saveHTML also omits the CDATA tags but as I'm working with document fragments, this isn't helpful as it wraps everything with html and body tags. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74241&edit=1
