ID: 26926 User updated by: vania at pandorasdream dot com Reported By: vania at pandorasdream dot com Status: Open Bug Type: DOM XML related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.0.0b3 (beta3) New Comment: Sorry... Wrong copy/paste for the actual result... ERROR [2]domdocument::loadHTMLFile() [<a href='function.loadHTMLFile'>function.loadHTMLFile</a>]: htmlParseEntityRef: expecting ';' in http://www.php.net/, line: 118. PHP 5.0.0RC1-dev (WINNT). at line 5 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-15 15:57:49] vania at pandorasdream dot com Description: ------------ Using the example for LoadHTML the www.php.net site contains a URL with an ampersand (line 118 <a href="http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/php-src/NEWS?login=2&r1=1.1247.2.452&r2=1.1247.2.522">NEWS</a> file.). The error says it is looking for a missing ";", apparently thinking it should be an entity. When I remove the try/catch, no errors occur, but nothing gets printed. Using a different URL to a file without the & works correctly. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php try { $dom = new domdocument; @$dom->loadHTMLFile("http://www.php.net/"); $xp = new domxpath($dom); $result = $xp->query("/html/head/title"); print $result[0]->firstChild->data; } catch (exception $exc) { print $exc->getMessage()." at line ".$exc->getLine(); } ?> Expected result: ---------------- PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor Actual result: -------------- <?php try { $dom = new domdocument; @$dom->loadHTMLFile("http://www.php.net/"); $xp = new domxpath($dom); $result = $xp->query("/html/head/title"); print $result[0]->firstChild->data; } catch (exception $exc) { print $exc->getMessage()." at line ".$exc->getLine(); } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26926&edit=1
