Re: simplexml and dom interop

So my only comment on this is that the import functions should do some kind of error (domexception, or a php error) if the support for the other is not compiled in. This would just be freindlier to the developer to know why the call is failing (rather than just getting function not defined). Otherwise, I have not gotten around to testing the patch tonight, as something else is causing crashes for me. Shane Robert Richards wrote:

If anyone is playing around with simplexml, dom and/or xsl, I have a patch for the interoperability between simplexml and dom. I am leary about committing it right now as it has limited testing, beta 2 is being released next week and I am leaving on tuesday for a week or two, so wont be able to fix any issues that might arise from it. patch - http://www.ctindustries.net/patches/interop.diff.txt example script - http://www.ctindustries.net/patches/interop.php.txt The changes include:

    simplexml
        new function: simplexml_import_dom(domnode) returns an sxe object
        behavior change: setting the value of an element will do just that. I removes all child nodes unlike previous version which would change the value of the first child node of the reference node (I dont believe this was the intended behavior)
        the change in behavior and the integration with the functions from the libxml extension should resolve a lot of the libxml memory leaks

    dom
        new function: dom_import_simplexml(sxe) returns domnode
        also a minor change to clonenode method of domnode

Let me know if people really want this in the beta release otherwise i am going to wait until after I get back to further test and commit this stuff. Rob
