ID: 43095 Updated by: rquadling@php.net Reported By: mike at silverorange dot com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-25 09:00:31] rquadling@php.net load(), loadXML(), loadHTML(), loadHTMLFile() all exhibit this behaviour - empty string for loadXML() and loadHTML() and empty file for load() and loadHTMLFile(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-24 16:00:34] mike at silverorange dot com 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43095&edit=1
