Bug #70450 [Opn->Wfx]: DOM::loadHTML() --> ::saveXML() entity encodes CR

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70450&edit=1 ID: 70450 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: flavio dot cambraia at yahoo dot com dot br Summary: DOM::loadHTML() --> ::saveXML() entity encodes CR -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Bug Package: DOM XML related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.5.29 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The culprit is reading HTML and writing as XML. libxml2 escapes CR when writing XML because normally CRLF is folded to LF when reading XML (required for conforming parsers). As such, this behavior is not wrong per se. I consider the presented use-case as quite uncommon, and I don't think this should be worked around in PHP, especially since you can work around this by not having CRLF as line endings, or if you have no control over the documents, still can fold the CRLF manually (e.g. by using str_replace()).

Rewriting the code to use "classic" DOM methods yields the same result. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-09-07 14:00:02] flavio dot cambraia at yahoo dot com dot br Description: ------------ The output shows an entity &#13; for every line break in $contents var.
