From: edwin at bitstorm dot org Operating system: Ubuntu 9.04 PHP version: 5.2SVN-2009-11-12 (SVN) PHP Bug Type: XML Reader Bug description: Empty element should also return END_ELEMENT
Description: ------------ Element <a></a> returns twice, one for XMLReader::ELEMENT and one for XMLReader::END_ELEMENT. Element <a/> returns once, for XMLReader::ELEMENT. That should return a XMLReader::END_ELEMENT too, because that's implicit. Problem is that now you can't distinguish between <a><b> and <a/><b> and that's a bug. Reproduce code: --------------- $reader = new XMLReader(); $reader->open($file); echo "<table>\n"; while ($reader->read()) { echo "<tr><td>".$reader->nodeType."</td><td>".$node = $reader->name."</td><td>".$reader->value."</td></tr>\n"; } echo "</table>\n"; Input: <Titles> <Title> <ID>429</ID> <Type /> <Barcode> </Barcode> Expected result: ---------------- 1 Titles 14 #text 1 Title 14 #text 1 ID 3 #text 429 15 ID 14 #text 1 Type 14 #text 15 Type 14 #text 1 Barcode 14 #text 15 Barcode 14 #text Actual result: -------------- 1 Titles 14 #text 1 Title 14 #text 1 ID 3 #text 429 15 ID 14 #text 1 Type 14 #text 1 Barcode 14 #text 15 Barcode 14 #text -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50156&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50156&r=mysqlcfg
