ID: 45996 Comment by: lwc at mailmetrash dot cm 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: Regarding your e-mail message, please let's continue this discussion publicly. It's established that this bug can happen with any (HTML) input, so there's no point exposing my own. Check out http://www.google.com/search?q=libxml+%2Bbrackets for tons of example code. But most importantly, is it possible that all this time no one ever posted a bug about it in libxml's own tracker? If so, I think I'll post something there soon. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-04 20:55:54] lwc at mailmetrash dot com Again, I use libxml v2.7.7 (with PHP v5.2.14). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-04 20:04:33] rricha...@php.net To hopefully close this once and for all: Compile PHP (5.2.9 or higher) against the newer libxml (2.7.3 or higher). PHP code change: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_2/ext/xml/compat.c? r1=272374&r2=273286 Libxml code change: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/libxml2/trunk/parser.c?r1=3803&r2=3807 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-04 19:50:35] lwc at mailmetrash dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
