Bug #60792 [Opn->Nab]: XML parser stops on multiple XML declarations

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60792&edit=1 ID: 60792 Updated by: kalle@php.net Reported by: Daniellehr at gmx dot de Summary: XML parser stops on multiple XML declarations -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: *XML functions Operating System: Ubuntu PHP Version: 5.3.9 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: If you want to parse in chunks, you need to use the $is_final parameter of xml_parse(). For some reason xml_parse() rejects the second call to xml_parse(), if the xml is identifical to the previous chunk or the current buffer (I did not read the code internally). This however makes the code parse in chunks: xml_parse($p, $xml); xml_parse($p, $xml2, true); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-02-15 00:39:59] anrdaemon at freemail dot ru This is an expected behavior. You must recreate the parser for a new document. Not. A. Bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-18 14:29:13] Daniellehr at gmx dot de Description: ------------ I am working with socket streams and the XMPP protocol. In a while it happens that a connection has to be replaced with a new one. This can be done with sending the root node again to the server, and the server then replies with a new root node too. This root node includes the XML declaration (<?xml ... ?>), but apparently the parser seems to stop at that point, where a new XML declaration occurs. So I have to filter those strings out manually, that's not the expected behavior I wished to have. This has been tested with PHP 5.3.5 and 5.3.9 Test script: --------------- <?php $p = xml_parser_create(); xml_set_element_handler($p, 'open', 'close'); function open($p, $tag) { echo "opened tag $tag\n"; } function close($p, $tag) { echo "closed tag $tag\n"; } $xml = "<?xml version='1.0' ?><stream><tag></tag>"; $xml2 = '</stream>'; xml_parse($p, $xml); xml_parse($p, $xml); xml_parse($p, $xml2); Expected result: ---------------- opened tag STREAM opened tag TAG closed tag TAG opened tag STREAM opened tag TAG closed tag TAG closed tag STREAM Actual result: -------------- opened tag STREAM opened tag TAG closed tag TAG ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60792&edit=1
