#34917 [NEW]: saveXML(documentFragment) produces an "empty" <> tag

From: bart at mediawave dot nl Operating system: Fedora Core 4 PHP version: 5.0.5 PHP Bug Type: DOM XML related Bug description: saveXML(documentFragment) produces an "empty" <> tag Description: ------------ When using saveXML(node) with a documentFragment an "empty tag" like <> is appended at the beginning of the string. Strangely this occurs with XHTML doctypes but not with XML documents without a doctype. I haven't tested it with other doctypes. It looks like it tries to output the documentfragment as a tag. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" []> <div> <h1>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</h1> <p>And he also jumped over a cow </p> </div> '; $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->loadXML($xml); $div = $doc->getElementsByTagName('div')->item(0); $frag = $doc->createDocumentFragment(); while ($childNode = $div->firstChild) { $frag->appendChild($childNode); } echo $doc->saveXML($frag); ?> Expected result: ---------------- The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog And he also jumped over a cow Actual result: -------------- <> The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog And he also jumped over a cow -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34917&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34917&r=mysqlcfg
