#50742 [NEW]: value parameter must be escaped

From: ifland at gmail dot com Operating system: n/a PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: value parameter must be escaped Description: ------------ The value parameter must be escaped - putting ampersands in the string will cause an exception. See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31191 Reproduce code: --------------- --- From manual page: domdocument.createelement#Parameters --- "The value of the element. By default, an empty element will be created. You can also set the value later with DOMElement->nodeValue." Expected result: ---------------- There should be a comment about how the $value parameter must be escaped and that the developer probably should use $document->createTextElement() instead. Perhaps something like this: "The ampersand-escaped value of the element. By default, an empty element will be created. You can also set the value later with DOMElement->nodeValue. To create a text node with escaping support, leave out this parameter, use DOMDocument->createTextElement() and append the text node to your DOMElement." Actual result: -------------- "The value of the element. By default, an empty element will be created. You can also set the value later with DOMElement->nodeValue." -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50742&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50742&r=mysqlcfg
