#43095 [NEW]: DOMDocument::loadXML raises an undocumented warning when passed an empty string

From: mike at silverorange dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: DOMDocument::loadXML raises an undocumented warning when passed an empty string Description: ------------ DOMDocument::loadXML and DOMDocument::load raise undocumented PHP warnings when passed an empty string as the argument. Reproduce code: --------------- $document = new DOMDocument(); $document->loadXML(''); Expected result: ---------------- Since this is by design (see Bug #43809), the documentation should be updated to say what happens when you pass an empty string. Something like: "If an empty string is passed as the $source, a PHP warning will be generated. This warning is not generated by libxml and cannot be handled using libxml's error handling functions." -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43095&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43095&r=mysqlcfg
