Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-10 13:48:00] iliaa@php.net This is a valid bug, by initial conclusion as to the nature of this bug was wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-10 12:54:57] sniper@php.net You're not in position to decide what is bogus and what is not. This is bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-10 12:50:17] gk@proliberty.com Thanks for identifying the problem, chregu. But your comment didn't specify WHICH $root in the sample code was causing the problem. Here's an example: <?php $xml=<<<eot <node attr="test"><test>hi</test> </node> eot; $doc = domxml_open_mem($xml); $root=$doc->document_element(); //This won't work: //$nodeDump =$doc->dump_node($doc); //This crashes: //$nodeDump =$root->dump_node($root); //This works: $nodeDump =$doc->dump_node($root); echo htmlentities($nodeDump); ?> I have re-opened the bug for integrity of the bug database: a bug is not 'Bogus' if PHP crashes due to scripting errors. For the sake of others who get bitten, this should stay open until fixed, then set it to 'Closed'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-10 11:56:45] chregu@php.net The error is here: $nodeContent =$root->dump_node($root); $root has to be a DOM_DOCUMENT and in your case it's DOM_ELEMENT. I'll fix the code, so it will throw an error, if it's not a DOM_DOCUMENT chregu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-10 04:44:37] gk@proliberty.com modified bug title to be more specific ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
