From: Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: SimpleXML related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:SimpleXml removes line breaks
Description: ------------ SimpleXML seems to ignore/remove line breaks (\n) in the attributes. Line breaks inside an attribute are valid XML, but they're lost when you use SimpleXML to read the XML data. I encountered this problem when reading XML data provided by the Google Webmaster Tools API Test script: --------------- XML: <?xml version="1.0"?> <feed><entry description="this is the first line here's a second line and another!" /></feed> PHP: $xml = simplexml_load_string($xmldata); foreach ($xml->entry as $entry) { $attributes = $entry->attributes(); print_r($attributes); } Expected result: ---------------- Keep the line breaks from the attribute values after reading the string. $attributes['description'] == "this is the first line here's a second line and another!"; Actual result: -------------- The string no longer contains line breaks: $attributes['description'] == "this is the first line here's a second line and another!"; -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55279&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55279&r=mysqlcfg
