#31484 [Bgs]: Strage behaviour when looping through a NodeList

ID: 31484 User updated by: clynx at users dot sourceforge dot net Reported By: clynx at users dot sourceforge dot net Status: Bogus Bug Type: DOM XML related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.11 PHP Version: 5.0.3 New Comment: Tried to get Support, but most of them did not know new dom, or thought the behaviour should be as i expected. Thank you for your answer, and sorry for buging. ;o) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-11 08:19:57] chregu@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. A nodelist is a so called "live" collection. Meaning, if you remove an element from it, nodelist->length will be one less. This should explain your behaviour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-11 01:56:21] clynx at users dot sourceforge dot net updated libxml2 to 2.6.16, same error ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-11 01:30:34] clynx at users dot sourceforge dot net Description: ------------ I want to use a complete Namespace to execute self written PHP Classes. My Parser has some Problems with the way PHP handles the Code. It seems like my code handles all dom Functions right, but the Result is not the one I would expect. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $dom = new DOMDocument(); $dom->load("http://www.succont.de/php/domxml.xml"); $nodelist=$dom->getElementsByTagNameNS( 'http://test.de/test', '*' ); for($i = 0; $i < $nodelist->length; $i++) { $node = $nodelist->item($i); if($node->localName == "test") { $node->parentNode->removeChild($node); echo $node->localName . " removed \n"; } else { echo 'handle: ' . $node->localName . "\n"; } } echo "\nXML File:\n".$dom->saveXML(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- bash-2.05a$ php -q test.php handle: doSomething test removed handle: doSomething XML File: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <example xmlns:test="http://test.de/test"> <test:doSomething/> <test:doSomething/> </example> Actual result: -------------- bash-2.05a$ php -q test.php handle: doSomething test removed XML File: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <example xmlns:test="http://test.de/test"> <test:doSomething/> <test:doSomething/> </example> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31484&edit=1
