ID: 37934 Updated by: rrichards@php.net Reported By: z_rules55 at hotmail dot com -Status: Assigned +Status: Bogus Bug Type: DOM XML related Operating System: Windows XP Pro PHP Version: 5.1.4 Assigned To: rrichards New Comment: 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. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. document is created. error occurs when trying to serialize it with bogus encoding. libxml2 bug with its error message - will be fixed there. to see error use libxml_use_internal_errors(TRUE) and inspect the structured errors after trying to save.

However, nothing (not even an error message) is printed if I pass a bogus encoding parameter. If PHP checks to make sure that the encoding parameter is correct, then shouldn't it also check to make sure the version is correct? Reproduce code: --------------- $hi = new DOMDocument(); echo $hi->saveXML(); echo "\n"; $hi = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8'); echo $hi->saveXML(); echo "\n"; $hi = new DOMDocument('3.14', 'utf-8'); echo $hi->saveXML(); echo "\n"; $hi = new DOMDocument('3.14', 'lkj'); echo $hi->saveXML(); echo "\n"; Expected result: ---------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <?xml version="3.14" encoding="utf-8"?> <?xml version="3.14" encoding="lkj"?> Actual result: -------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <?xml version="3.14" encoding="utf-8"?> /* Nothing printed for the last line. */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37934&edit=1
