ID: 45996 Comment by: lwc at mailmetrash dot com Reported by: phpbugs at colin dot guthr dot ie Summary: libxml2 2.7.1 causes breakage with character data in xml_parse() Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: XML related Operating System: Mandriva Linux PHP Version: 5.2.6 Assigned To: rrichards Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It still happens to me even in libxml v2.7.7. Please take it seriously. At least mention in what scenarios does it happen and does it have a link in libxml's own bug tracker. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-07 23:17:53] i_cypher at hotmail dot com I am seeing this error in 2.7.3 as well, so the fix does not seem to be working. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-19 00:05:30] nick dot phillips at otago dot ac dot nz Just FYI - I have been seeing what would appear to be this issue with libxml2 2.7.6 (with Moodle), so it seems that "2.7.3 or higher" doesn't cut it. Reverting to 2.6.32 solved the problem for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-11 12:06:01] rricha...@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. This fix also requires the soon to be released libxml2-2.7.3 or higher when using 2.7.x. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-03 04:03:53] david+phpbugs at midrange dot com Ok, I'm going to try and rebuild the Fedora 8 source RPM to avoid the libxml2 bug ... but I'm not all that familiar with how PHP is built ... and could use a pointer or two on what to change on the configure command line. Any suggestions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-02 23:03:29] geoffers+phpbugs at gmail dot com What is the recommended advice for PHP software that relies upon the XML extension? It'd be easier to say that libxml2.7.02.7.2 wasn't supported if it weren't for the fact that I've had at least one user come who had LIBXML_VERSION equal to 20632 with this issue we can't just add a LIBXML_VERSION based workaround, not just because the constant doesn't exist on 4.3.0, but also because it is seemingly isn't reliable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
