ID: 48898 Updated by: rricha...@php.net Reported by: boen dot robot at gmail dot com Summary: readOuterXML() doesn't work on DTDs -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: XML Reader Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate x64 SP2 PHP Version: 5.3.0 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. The problem lies within libxml2. Bug is being handled there.

While for readInnerXML(), the "inner" part may be hard to define in those node types, the "outer" is always clearly the whole node, and all of its descendants. If the root of the problem is in libxml, may I ask the maintainers of this extension to forward this to libxml's authors? I'm not a C user of libxml, so coming in with a runnable test case for libxml's authors would be hard. PHP runs on Apache 2.2.9 as CGI, and is the VC6 x86 Thread-safe build (just in case it matters). Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $reader = new XMLReader; $reader->XML('<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html> <head> <title>It works...</title> </head> <body> <h1>It works!</h1> </body> </html>'); $reader->read(); echo $reader->readOuterXML(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> Actual result: -------------- An empty string. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48898&edit=1
