Bug #11067 Updated: dumpmem() does not ident, or even make new lines when called

ID: 11067 Updated by: bigredlinux@yahoo.com Reported By: paulo@paulo.com.br Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: linux debian 2.2 PHP Version: 4.0.5 New Comment: It is critical to understand that dump_mem now has a parameter for formatting the output. However, this feature will only work if when the xml was created, the whitespace was stripped. This is just how the underlying libxml2 library works. If you have even a single bit of indenting in your domxml object, there is no way to get a nice format on the output. Since when creating new nodes, they are created without indenting, it is useful to always strip the formatting on the way in. The problem is, there is NO way to strip formatting on the way in right now in the php functions domxml_open_*. However, libxml2 does have this feature and it is just a matter of adding an optional param to both of these php functions and then adding 3 lines of code in php_domxml.c.

Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-05-23 18:16:44] paulo@paulo.com.br When you are making a new xmldoc using domxml functions like $node->new_child() and such, then you try to dumpmem, you get an horrible XML doc. No idents, no breaklines, and you cannot see what is nested! I know this is not a bug, but this feature is extremely important. XML should be readable for an human being. But the document appears in a single line! dumpmem does not change original XML (if any). I mean, if you do not start the XML from the scratch, the original XML reamis idented, and with breaklines and so, as it should be. thanks a lot for the good work! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=11067&edit=1
