PHP Bug Type: XML related
Bug description: ampersands (&) not being translated to entities when setting
nodeValue
Description:
------------
We have encountered the following bug when using libxml2 (via PHP5):
When we set the value of a text node, ampersands (&) are not being
converted to XML entities. These raw characters truncate our text node,
resulting in lost data.
For example, after setting nodeValues, less-than's (<) show up as entities
(<) in our XML file. However, ampersands (&) show up as raw characters
(&).
Note that in the example code we have silenced the output from setting the
nodeValues, as this generates a PHP warning when used with newer versions
of libxml2.
We have experienced this bug on at least two machines, with the following
configurations:
MACHINE 1:
LIBXML2: 2.6.16-3 (binary rpm)
PHP: 5.0.2 (built from source)
OS: Fedora Core Linux 3
KERNEL: 2.6.9-1.681_FC3smp
MACHINE 2:
LIBXML2: 2.6.7-28.4 (binary)
PHP: 5.0.2 (built from source)
OS: Suse Linux 9.1
KERNEL: 2.6.4-52-default
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
/* load the document */
$dom = DomDocument::loadXML(<<<XML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>
<foo>Here is an < to test.</foo>
<bar>Here is an & to test.</bar>
</test>
XML
);
/* confirm we have the document verbatim */
print("HERE IS THE INITIAL DOCUMENT:\n\n");
print($dom->saveXML());
print("\n--------------------------------\n\n");
/* get the LT node */
$nodeList = $dom->getElementsByTagName('foo');
$nodeLT = $nodeList->item(0);
/* get the AMP node */
$nodeList = $dom->getElementsByTagName('bar');
$nodeAMP = $nodeList->item(0);
/* resave the node values */
@$nodeLT->nodeValue = $nodeLT->nodeValue;
@$nodeAMP->nodeValue = $nodeAMP->nodeValue;
/* show the altered document */
print("HERE IS THE DOCUMENT AFTER THE SAVE:\n\n");
print($dom->saveXML());
print("\n--------------------------------\n\n");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
HERE IS THE INITIAL DOCUMENT:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>
<foo>Here is an < to test.</foo>
<bar>Here is an & to test.</bar>
</test>
--------------------------------
HERE IS THE DOCUMENT AFTER THE SAVE:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>
<foo>Here is an < to test.</foo>
<bar>Here is an & to test.</bar>
</test>
Actual result:
--------------
HERE IS THE INITIAL DOCUMENT:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>
<foo>Here is an < to test.</foo>
<bar>Here is an & to test.</bar>
</test>
--------------------------------
HERE IS THE DOCUMENT AFTER THE SAVE:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>
<foo>Here is an < to test.</foo>
<bar>Here is an </bar>
</test>
