#33240 [Opn]: XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE skips important spaces

ID: 33240 User updated by: jacob at jacobweber dot com Reported By: jacob at jacobweber dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Fedora Core 3 PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: I noticed that, so maybe they're not meant to be used. But one of the two examples I posted is incorrect: it should skip the space all the time or never. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-03 23:13:42] sniper@php.net Yes, it skips whitespace when you set it to 1. Otherwise it will not skip it, it's left as is. I could not find the documentation for these options (on the page for xml_parser_set_option()): XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE XML_OPTION_SKIP_TAGSTART even as they seem to have existed since PHP 3? :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-03 22:50:41] jacob at jacobweber dot com Description: ------------ Turning on XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE causes the space in the following XML to be skipped: <a>&apos; &amp;</a> I believe this is incorrect. It doesn't skip the space in: <a>&amp; &apos;</a> Jacob Reproduce code: --------------- $xmlStr = "<a>&apos; &amp;</a>"; $xmlParser = xml_parser_create(); xml_parser_set_option($xmlParser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1); xml_parse_into_struct($xmlParser, $xmlStr, $xmlArr); xml_parser_free($xmlParser); print_r($xmlArr); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => Array ( [tag] => A [type] => complete [level] => 1 [value] => ' & ) ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => Array ( [tag] => A [type] => complete [level] => 1 [value] => '& ) ) (note the missing space after the apostrophe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33240&edit=1
