#30530 [NEW]: DOMCharacterData extending bug

From: jason at amp-design dot net Operating system: MacOS X / Win 2003 / CentOS PHP version: 5.0.1 PHP Bug Type: DOM XML related Bug description: DOMCharacterData extending bug Description: ------------ In my example code class RawStuff extends DOMCharacterData and creates a fetch error, which I can't see why it's happening (nothing in the PHP manual or DOM specs seems to say anything as far as I can see). If I change the code to class RawStuff extends DOMText then the code doesn't error, however I don't want it to escape the < and > characters, which is why I want to extend from DOMCharacterData as this shouldn't escape < and > (coz it doesn't in DOMComment and that extends DOMCharacterData). As far as I can see this seems to be a bug though, there maybe some good reason why this doesn't work, however there seems to be no mentioning of it in both the DOM Spec of PHP manual. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php header('Content-type: text/plain'); class RawStuff extends DOMCharacterData { public $poop; } class NiceElement extends DOMElement { } $o = new DOMDocument(); // Expecting <scum /> to be escaped here with &gt; and &lt; $p = new NiceElement('html', ' ppp<scum /> pp', '12121212'); $o->appendChild($p); // Not expecting <% and %> to be escaped as DOMComment extends the DOMCharacterData class // and this allows things like <!-- <scum /> --> without turning < and > into entites // However we can't use DOMCharacterData directly without a fetch error for some reason $cack = &new RawStuff('blah some node which can also hold raw <% asp data %>'); $p->appendChild($cack); $cack2 = $o->createTextNode('fgfgf'); $p->appendChild($cack2); echo $o->saveXML(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <html xmlns="12121212"> ppp&lt;scum /&gt; ppblah some node which can also hold raw <% asp data %>fgfgf</html> Actual result: -------------- <br /> <b>Warning</b>: Couldn't fetch RawStuff in <b>/data/web/test_stuff/DOM_test.php</b> on line <b>22</b><br /> <?xml version="1.0"?> <html xmlns="12121212"> ppp&lt;scum /&gt; ppfgfgf</html> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30530&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30530&r=mysqlcfg
