ID: 31821 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: jsmestad at advantageline dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: *XML functions Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP2 PHP Version: 5CVS-2005-02-02 (dev) New Comment:
Fixed by: "Entity errors are reported at the end of the data thus only if is_final is set and TRUE." Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-13 22:30:00] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-07 21:43:16] jsmestad at advantageline dot com As stated, I believe this to be a documentation problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-04 15:18:33] jsmestad at advantageline dot com The documentation does not make the behavior of the parser obvious. It states this: " When the XML document is parsed, the handlers for the configured events are called as many times as necessary, after which this function returns TRUE or FALSE. TRUE is returned if the parse was successful, FALSE if it was not successful, or if parser does not refer to a valid parser. For unsuccessful parses, error information can be retrieved with xml_get_error_code(), xml_error_string(), xml_get_current_line_number(), xml_get_current_column_number() and xml_get_current_byte_index(). " For that string of XML, the parse was unsuccessful, and yet that particular call to xml_parse returns true. This behavior is contrary to the documentation. It states, and I repeat, "TRUE is returned if the parse was successful, FALSE if it was not successful, or if parser does not refer to a valid parser." Yet, true is returned also if the parse is unsuccessful and not specified as complete by the is_final flag. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-04 14:21:33] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php you need to set is_final flag for the error to appear when using libxml rather than expat so that libxml knows that all the data has been passed to the parser: xml_parse($xml_parser,"<thdoc><this>this&that</this><that>thatdata</that></thdoc>", TRUE); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-02 22:20:59] jsmestad at advantageline dot com Description: ------------ The XML parser does not return an error when expected. Reproduce code: --------------- $xml_parser = xml_parser_create(); xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startTag", "endTag"); xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "cdata"); $data = xml_parse($xml_parser,"<thdoc><this>this&that</this><that>thatdata</that></thdoc>"); printf("%s at line %d", xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)), xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)); Expected result: ---------------- not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1 Actual result: -------------- No error at line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31821&edit=1
