Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72725&edit=1 ID: 72725 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: bobik at ibobik dot cz Summary: Document what are allowed characters for XMLWriter::startElement's name Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: XML Writer PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: From reading the description of $name ("The element name."), I would assume that any valid XML Name as specified by the respective XML standard[1] is allowed. Note also that XMLWriter::startElement() is supposed to raise a warning, if an invalid $name is given, see <https://3v4l.org/OurBC>.
