ID: 34997 Updated by: rrichards@php.net Reported By: php dot net at punk dot co dot nz -Status: Feedback +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: DOM XML related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.0.5 New Comment: This was done intentionally and as an extension to the DOM specs. Provides quick access to Element content and is read-only for DOMElement. This is the only node type that this exception was made for.

As far as I understand according to the specification (p36, DOM2-Core.pdf, w3.org) the nodeValue should be set to NULL for Element node types (and many other node types). This may be a problem for other node types as well.
