From: black at scene-si dot org
Operating system: debian
PHP version: 5.0.0
PHP Bug Type: XML related
Bug description: xml_* functions throw non descriptive error, compared to php4
Description:
------------
when validating an incorrectly formated xml file, the errors from php
5.0.0 are vaguely descriptive, outputting some constant name and not a
human readable error message
Reproduce code:
---------------
#!/usr/bin/php5
<?php
if ($argc<2) {
echo "Usage: ".$PHP_SELF." file.xml\n";
exit;
}
$file = $argv[1];
$depth = array();
function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {}
function endElement($parser, $name) {}
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
if (!($fp = fopen($file, "r"))) {
die("could not open XML input");
}
while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) {
if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) {
die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
}
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
Expected result:
----------------
XML error: mismatched tag at line 14
(from php4, identical code)
Actual result:
--------------
XML error: XML_ERR_TAG_NAME_MISMATCH at line 14
(php5 output)
