#21497 [Bgs]: include() of XML document fails

ID: 21497 User updated by: polone@townnews.com Reported By: polone@townnews.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: RedHat Linux 6.2 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: That does fix the problem, but enabling short open tags shouldn't invalidate properly formatted processing instructions for something other than PHP. In addition, this cannot be altered or disabled by ini_set() from a PHP script (perhaps a security risk?) at run-time. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-07 13:17:31] edink@php.net Disable short_open_tags in your php.ini and the problem will go away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-07 13:15:12] polone@townnews.com When using the include(), include_once(), require(), or require_once() functions, documents beginning with: <?xml version="1.0"?> fail to be loaded. I'm guessing this might have to do with PHP trying to interpret the <?xml as <?php, causing a fatal error. Proper operation should check for the processing instruction (PI) value of <?, that is: <? or <?php maybe interpreted as PHP, but not, <?some_other_text at the very least, not: <?xml ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21497&edit=1
