note 55527 added to function.xml-set-character-data-handler

I too love the undocumented "splitting" functionality :-p. Rather than concatinating the data based on whether or not the current tag name has changed from the previous tag name I suggest always concatinating like the following with the $catData variable being unset in the endElement function: <?php function endElement ($parser, $data) { global $catData; // Because we are at an element end we know any splitting is finished unset($GLOBALS['catData']); } function characterData ($parser, $data) { global $catData; // Concatinate data in case splitting is taking place $catData.=$data; } ?> This got me around a problem with data like the following where, because characterData is not called for empty tags, the previous and current tag names were the same even though splitting was not taking place. <companydept> <companydeptID></companydeptID> <companyID>1</companyID> <companydeptName></companydeptName> </companydept> <companydept> <companydeptID></companydeptID> <companyID>2</companyID> <companydeptName></companydeptName> </companydept> <companydept> <companydeptID></companydeptID> <companyID>3</companyID> <companydeptName></companydeptName> </companydept> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xml-set-character-data-handler.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+55527 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55527&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55527&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55527&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55527&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55527&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55527&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+55527&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
