#46987 [Asn->Fbk]: Maximum String Length for XML Nodes is not documented

ID: 46987 Updated by: rrichards@php.net Reported By: eric at midkotasolutions dot com -Status: Assigned +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: RedHat E5 PHP Version: 5.2.8 Assigned To: rrichards New Comment: Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. I cannot reproduce this. Using a script similar to what you posted, I hit no limitation on string length. Was easily able to write/read using a string 300K long. Are you able to duplicate this on other platforms as well?

Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-01 17:42:22] eric at midkotasolutions dot com Description: ------------ Note that there is a limitation to the maximum size of a string for a node. I am submitting here in as documentation. I have a string that is 455K in Size. I tried creating an XML Node with this string as it's value, but the string always gets cut off at about 83K - I attempted using both the nodeValue property, and by creating a new DOMTextNode. Reproduce code: --------------- To replicate, create a string that is greater than 83K (or so) - <?php $string="text that is really big" $node=new DOMText($string); echo $node->wholeText; ?> The echo'd value will be cut off at about 83K Expected result: ---------------- Is there a reason for the limitation? - Or, is this a bug? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46987&edit=1
