Hallo, is there a solution yet? I have the same problem on Fedora Core 9. I also have this problem using libxml2-2.6.32 Can anyone help me? Best regards, Markus Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-17 14:08:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Changing the flag fixes internally defined entities, but breaks the rest of the entity handling. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-17 13:40:27] [EMAIL PROTECTED] So far as I can tell the only problem here is that libxml2 is bailing in parser.c:xmlParseReference() because the ctxt->wellFormed flag is cleared. It is set to zero by compat.c, which seems simply wrong; xmlCreate*ParserContext initialize it to non-zero. If I apply this patch it works fine: http://people.apache.org/~jorton/php-5.2.6-xmlwformed.patch Rob? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-16 14:56:03] mike at kogan dot org Nevermind we got it - libexpat is in and workaround is fine. Thanks again and happy coding! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-16 02:01:00] mike at Kogan dot org Thanks Col - unfortunately after thrashing on this for a day I either have gotten libexpat built in and it hasn't worked, or my efforts to build it into Apache2 have not worked. How can I tell once I've rebuilt apache whether it's in or not? Will it show up on phpinfo? I see libexpat.so on the system and configured apache --with-expat=builtin and tried using the expat on the system but I'm not sure if it's actually getting there. Sorry in advance if this is not the place to ask such a question but googling libexpat has not been fruitful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-15 09:02:54] phpbugs at colin dot guthr dot ie Mike, it's fairly easy to recompile PHP with the libexpat library for the legacy XML parsing functions while keeping libxml2 for the more modern ones. We did that in the Mandriva package for our 2009.0 release after I reported the bug. See the SPEC file here: http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/updates/2009.0/php/current/SPECS/php.spec?revision=291141&view=markup The particular change that worked around it is here: http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/updates/2009.0/php/current/SPECS/php.spec?r1=278891&r2=281822 I'm sure you can work out how to get the needed patch that is mentioned by navigating the webcvs :) You should be able to use this to recompile the CentOS PHP package accordingly. Hope this helps. Col ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
