#36116 [Opn->Bgs]: setAttribute() allows colon in attribute name

ID: 36116 Updated by: rrichards@php.net Reported By: info at intelligentstreaming dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: DOM XML related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.1.2 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php you are mixing DOM level 1 functionality with namespaced document. DOM specs will tell you that results will be unexpected when doing this. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-21 18:30:42] info at intelligentstreaming dot com Description: ------------ DOMElement::setAttribute() allows one to specify a colon in the attribute name, for example "xsi:type". If an attribute with a matching namespace prefix and local name already exists in the element, the creation of the new attribute will cause two identically-named attributes to exist in the same element. Reproduce code: --------------- $dom = DOMDocument::loadXML("<root xmlns:somens='uri://bla'><element somens:foo='bar' /></root>"); print $dom->firstChild->firstChild->setAttribute('somens:foo', 'baz'); print $dom->saveXML(); Expected result: ---------------- DOMElement::setAttribute() should return FALSE or throw an exception; the DOMDocument should not be changed. Actual result: -------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <root xmlns:somens="uri://bla"><element somens:foo="bar" somens:foo="baz"/></root> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36116&edit=1
