Please read our statements again, we do NOT bundle libxml2. Please install the proper library on your system. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-19 15:27:28] ndb1974 at yahoo dot co dot uk But is it libXML that the following PHP5 code relies on $xml = simplexml_load_file($XMLTestDoc); $XMLpath = $xml -> xpath("/testdoc"); $teststring = $XMLpath[0] -> testvar; ???? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-19 15:23:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] libxml2 is not distributed with PHP (windows build being exception). Upgrade your libxml2 library then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-19 15:22:45] [EMAIL PROTECTED] PHP doesn't contain any libxml at all... it uses the one installed on your system. Please upgrade to the latest and it should work fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-19 15:17:43] ndb1974 at yahoo dot co dot uk Description: ------------ php 5.0.4 contains libXML 2.6.11 This works appears to work correctly with text string variables php 5.05 contains libXML 2.6.9 (not sure why it contains an older libXML) This version combination contains a fault where XML string content containing apostrophes (') is corrupted when reading or writing XML variables using simpleXML. The XML functionality tries to escape the apostrophe with several backspaces, corrupting the string when it is processed. But this does NOT happen with libXML 2.6.11. Reproduce code: --------------- Store an XML doc like: <testdoc> <testvar>Something's not right with ' chars</testvar> </testdoc> Open it with a php script like: $dom = new DomDocument; $xml = simplexml_load_file($XMLTestDoc); $XMLpath = $xml -> xpath("/testdoc"); $teststring = $XMLpath[0] -> testvar; echo ($teststring); Expected result: ---------------- Should see same string again. Actual result: -------------- String is displayed like: Something\\\\'s not right with \\\' chars (i.e. corrupted with backslashes). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34916&edit=1
