I should have been clearer this ISNT a bug, its an error in your programming, ask on the php-general
list.

I noticed this bug is reported in several ways here (I didn't see these before posting, the 10
bug on 1 page limit, oops :). I hope this demonstrates this bug is not yet solved, and very
annoying. (The script should also be clearer than others)

Ask on the PHP-GEneral mailling list, you are trying to use $this outside of a class so it does not
work.

When you use XML methods in a script, $this doesn't get set or is buggy. That means you
can't use instance variables or methods of that object.
When you run the following script you only get SE,SE,EE,EE but the variables content and instancevar
aren't set. The only solution I could think of is that $this points to a wrong object, not the
object that the XML methods are called in.
Example script:
<?
class ContentParser
{
var $parser, $content = "";
var $instancevar;
function ContentParser()
{
$this->parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_object($this->parser, &$this);
xml_set_element_handler($this->parser, "start_element",
"end_element");
xml_set_character_data_handler($this->parser, "character_data");
xml_set_processing_instruction_handler($this->parser,
"processing_instruction");
}
function parse_text ($data)
{
return xml_parse ($this->parser, $data, true);
}
function add_content($text)
{
$this->content .= $text;
}
function processing_instruction($parser, $target, $data)
{
}
function start_element($parser, $name, $attribs)
{
echo "SE<br>";
$this->add_content("Start_element $name<br>");
$this->instancevar = "I should be set!!!";
}
function end_element($parser, $name)
{
echo "EE<br>";
$this->add_content("End element $name<br>");
}
function character_data($parser, $data)
{
$this->add_content($data);
}
}
$c = new ContentParser();
$c->parse_text("<document><paragraph>Well this doesn't work.
Bug!</paragraph></document>");
echo $c->content; // Zip. No bonus.
echo $c->instancevar;
?>
Am I doing something wrong or is this really a bug?
