#25686 [Opn->Bgs]: XML processing instruction handling feature request

ID: 25686 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: bart at mediawave dot nl -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: All PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: You don't need to use XML functions for this, just include() the file.. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-29 15:37:46] bart at mediawave dot nl Excuse me if I was not clear enough. This "problem" occurs when parsing the specified XML file with the Expat XML functions. I get this problem with PHP 4.3.2, PHP 4.3.3 and PHP 5.0.0 beta. You can reproduce the problem with the code on http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php under "Example 3. External Entity Example" and using the following XML for xmltest.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <XMLTAG> <?php for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++) { ?> <XMLTAG2> <? echo $i ?> </XMLTAG2> <?php } ?> </XMLTAG> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-29 05:42:00] sniper@php.net With PHP 4.3.3 I get the correct output. Disable short-tags maybe? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-29 04:38:50] bart at mediawave dot nl Description: ------------ With the XML parser module PHP currently handles processing instruction code per tag. For example: <?php echo 'Hello World' ?> is seen as an isolated chunk of code. This doesn't work: <XMLTAG> <?php for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++): ?> <XMLTAG2> <?php echo $i ?> </XMLTAG2> <?php endfor; ?> </XMLTAG> PHP handles the PHP code per <? somecode ?> tag. While in this example the code actually spans through 5 tags. But PHP doesn't recognize it this way. Also. For my application it would be desirable if the PHP XML parser would not return the php code. The evaluation of the PHP code in the XML should be hanled by the parser. It should then only return the resulting (evaluated) XML as if it was normal XML. Reproduce code: --------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <XMLTAG> <?php for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++): ?> <XMLTAG2> <?php echo $i ?> </XMLTAG2> <?php endfor; ?> </XMLTAG> Expected result: ---------------- <XMLTAG> <XMLTAG2> 0 </XMLTAG2> <XMLTAG2> 1 </XMLTAG2> <XMLTAG2> 2 </XMLTAG2> <XMLTAG2> 3 </XMLTAG2> </XMLTAG> Actual result: -------------- Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in D:\php-4.3.2\PEAR\wrap_v4\dam.php(544) : eval()'d code on line 1 Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENDFOR in D:\php-4.3.2\PEAR\wrap_v4\dam.php(544) : eval()'d code on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25686&edit=1
