note 106662 added to domdocument.createentityreference

I had some issues getting this to work, mostly because the documentation is so lacking. Here is the help I got from stackoverflow, thanks newtover. If you're interested in the source, you can check it out with this partial link (questions/8233394/xml-entity-in-setattribute-addattribute). I would add the full but the requirements for submitting this suggests I don't add URL's hopefully this is acceptable. <?php // a valid XML should contain used entities declarations to be valid, // but DOM recs do not contain means to generate DTD; // in PHP you can use XMLWriter for the purpose though $dtd = <<<DTD <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE root [ <!ENTITY my_entity "some content"> ]> <root/> DTD; $xml = new DOMDocument(); $xml->formatOutput = true; $xml->loadXML($dtd); $root = $xml->documentElement; $entity = $xml->createEntityReference( 'my_entity' ); $an_attr = $xml->createAttribute( 'attr' ); $an_attr->appendChild( $xml->createTextNode('prefix ') ); $an_attr->appendChild( $entity ); $an_attr->appendChild( $xml->createTextNode(' suffix') ); $root->setAttributeNode( $an_attr ); // clone the entity to use it more than once $root->appendChild( $entity->cloneNode() ); print $xml->saveXML(); ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 173.71.130.68 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.createentityreference.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/106662 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106662/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106662/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106662/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106662/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106662/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106662/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106662 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/106662 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
