domxml in PHP5

Hi It was very quiet on this list in recent weeks. I was and still am very busy with other projects. In the meantime Rob Richards jumped on the bandwagon and provided a lot of memleak fixes for domxml (PHP 4.3.2 will have all those fixes plus finally domdocument->free() as an userland method. hooray ;) ) We were discussing by private mail, how we should proceed further. I think, the goal mentioned in previous mails were pretty much hight to reach in the time PHP5 will be released. So I suggest, we stick to the following TODO list for PHP 5.0.0 and try to incorporate the more advanced feature for a later release. Of course, if there are people who want to contribute this stuff before, I have no problem with that. Here's my suggestion (and I think, if there are more people than just me contributing, we should be able to reach this) - Go over the whole "memory/free" stuff and clean it up. - Seperate php_domxml.c in different files. maybe just the different modules (xslt/xpath/dom/parser/etc..), or maybe even for each class (document, node, text, etc) a file (not shure, what's more feasible) - use namespaces. Got already a patch from Tal for that. - use setters/getters. $domtext->data = "hello" should be possible with PHP5 (the properties in domxml at the moment are a joke and shouldn't be used..), this will allow much more dom-compliance - Implement first most of the dom-standard. Then we add some of the convenience methods libxml2 has (get_content() et al. They are not in the dom-standard, but make the life for domxml-programmers a lot easier and they are also much faster than using the "traditional" dom methods) - Lastly, if there's time, add as much BC as possible. Or we just provide a PEAR-wrapper, which makes transition from domxml/PHP4.3 to domxml/PHP5 easier. chregu
