PHP 4.0 Bug #8895: xslt_process() documentation problem

From: php-bugs@improbable.org Operating system: Linux (Debian 2.2r2) PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Sablotron XSL Bug description: xslt_process() documentation problem According to the documentation xslt_process() is supposed to return false and allow you to check errors with xslt_errno() & xslt_error(). I found several situations where a validation error in the XSL stylesheet would cause it to instead fail with a fatal error: PHP Fatal error: msgtype: error in /var/www/stone2/index.php on line 18 (One example of an error would be a HTML tag with unquoted parameters (e.g. BORDER=0), which is legal for numeric values in HTML but not XML) Needless to say, this made debugging rather tricky as it never reached the error display in my code: if (xslt_process($XSL, $XML, $result)) { echo $result; } else { echo '<P>XSL transformation error: </P>'; echo xslt_errno() . ': ' . xslt_error(); } PHP config info: PHP Version 4.0.4pl1 System Linux gigante 2.2.18pre21 #1 Sat Nov 18 18:47:15 EST 2000 i686 unknown Build Date Jan 24 2001 Configure Command './configure' '--with-apxs' '--enable-shared' '--with-bz2' '--with-java=/usr/local/jdk1.3' '--with-gettext' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-zlib' '--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-dom=/usr/local/lib' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-gd-imgstrttf' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir' '--with-ttf' '--with-t1lib' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-imap' '--with-ldap' '--with-mysql' '--with-pdflib=/usr/local/lib' '--with-zlib-dir' '--with-jpeg-dir' '--with-png-dir' '--with-tiff-dir' '--with-pgsql' '--with-pspell' '--with-readline' '--with-sablot' '--with-sablot-errors-descriptive' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-sockets' '--with-swf' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--enable-memory-limit' -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8895&edit=1
