Doc #54937 [NEW]: SIMPLEXML fails to parse correctly

From: Operating system: linux ubuntu 8.10 PHP version: 5.2.17 Package: Class/Object related Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:SIMPLEXML fails to parse correctly Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/book.simplexml --- As far as I know, object nodes can only have characters (a-zA-Z0-9_). I think problem is created when SIMPLEXML uses @ in @attributes nodes. It works most of the time, but a node attribute is lost for certain xml data like I demonstrated below. Test script: --------------- $xml =<<<ENDOF <root> <zakara ee="rr1"> <xx>aa1</xx> <xx plop="huhuD">aa4</xx> </zakara> </root> ENDOF; $obj=simplexml_load_string($xml,'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA|LIBXML_NOBLANKS|LIBXML_NOERROR|LIBXML_NOWARNING); if (!$obj) die(); print_r($obj); [plop] => huhuD dissapears. Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [zakara] => Array ( [@attributes] => Array ( [ee] => rr1 ) [xx] => Array ( [0] => aa1 [1] => ( [@attributes] => Array ( [plop] => huhuD ) [0]=> aa4 ) ) ) ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [zakara] => Array ( [@attributes] => Array ( [ee] => rr1 ) [xx] => Array ( [0] => aa1 [1] => aa4 ) ) ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54937&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54937&r=mysqlcfg
