note 104637 added to class.domnode

It says that nodeValue uses UTF-8 encoding. But this is not true. Try this code: <? $DOM = new DOMDocument('1.0', "UTF-8"); $DOM->loadHTML(utf8_encode("<p>-&rsquo;-</p>")); echo $DOM->saveXML() . PHP_EOL; $node = $DOM->getElementsByTagName("p")->item(0)->childNodes->item(0); // Text node inside p tag echo $node->nodeValue . PHP_EOL; echo utf8_decode($node->nodeValue) . PHP_EOL; ?> It will output : <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> <html><body><p>-&#x2018;-</p></body></html> -‘- -?- The character &rsquo; is correctly loaded into the DOM document since it's translated correctly into &#x2018; but the nodeValue property uses a weird encoding (‘) which utf8_decode does not recognise at all (outputting a ?) I need to find the real internal encoding of nodeValue to manipulate correctly the content. Any help appreciated. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 151.31.80.210 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.domnode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104637 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104637/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104637/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104637/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104637/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104637/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104637/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104637 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104637 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
