note 68121 added to function.domnode-set-content

For those transitioning to PHP5 DOM XML code, there is a gotcha with this function. In PHP4, when you call $node->set_content($string), the $string must have special HTML characters encoded. The method does not properly handle the "&" character, so this is required to properly set the content In PHP5, when you call $node->appendChild($dom->createTextNode($string)), PHP will properly encode the "&" character without the need for HTML encoding. Because of this, older code that is currently using htmlspecialchars() in the set_content() call will potentially double-encode the "&" character if you keep the call to htmlspecialchars() in the createTextNode() call. ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 69.15.248.2 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.domnode-set-content.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/68121 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68121/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68121/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68121/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68121/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68121/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68121/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68121 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/68121 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
