Bug #75768 [Opn->Nab]: libxml_get_errors function report different error in the same conditions

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75768&edit=1 ID: 75768 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: laurentiusilviu at gmail dot com Summary: libxml_get_errors function report different error in the same conditions -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: SimpleXML related Operating System: Windows 7 PHP Version: 5.6.33 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This behavior comes from libxml, not PHP. http://xmlsoft.org/bugs.html Looks like it reads the end tag by trying to find the start tag's name then requiring that the next character is a '>'. Since "def" (</def>) begins with "de" (<de>) the parser thinks it finds the end tag correctly but errors since the next character is a 'f'. If you changed the start or end so that this doesn't happen (eg, <def> and </df>) you'll get the tag mismatched message.

I expected to have the same error message as in Case 1. Expected result: ---------------- I expected to have the same result in both cases. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75768&edit=1
