ID: 40359 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: gmtfn at yahoo dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: DOM XML related Operating System: Linux and Windows PHP Version: 5.2.0 New Comment:
use saveXML instead of saveHTML and you get, what you expect (maybe also try loadXML, instead of loadXML, depending on what's your input) Besides that, it's not a PHP, but a libxml2 issue, since PHP only uses the functions from there (and I assume, they do the correct thing regarding whitespaces, html and the specs) load/saveHTML should only be used, if you want to use HTML 4.0, for xhtml, you're supposed to use the load/saveXML stuff. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-05 01:14:42] gmtfn at yahoo dot com Your system changed my input. Before you test it, put everything between opening and closing UL tags on one line. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-05 01:09:35] gmtfn at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ The saveHTML() method of DOMDocument reformats input HTML contents (from an HTML file or a string in a PHP file) despite that formatOutput property is set to false. Setting preserveWhiteSpace to true or false before or after loading the HTML input doesn't seem to make a difference. This may not seem important, but it breaks a third party menu software I am using on Mozilla based browsers. I've tried this with PHP 5.2 on Linux and PHP 5.1.x on Windows, with the same results. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $myhtml = <<<EOF <html> <body> <ul><li><a href="http://site.com";>site</a></li><li><a href="http://site.com";>another site</a><ul><li><a href="http://site.com";>third site</a></li></ul></li></ul> </body> </html> EOF; $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->loadHTML($myhtml); $doc->formatOutput = false; echo $doc->saveHTML(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expected to see NO changed at all done to the input HTML. That's what the "formatOutput = false" is for, isn't it? By the way, setting this property to true doesn't seem to produce anything different from what happens the property is set to false. Actual result: -------------- It reformats some fragments but leaves others in tact. Less important (for me) changes are: body and html opening and closing tags are put on 2 lines even though in the input they occupy 4 lines. But the important changes are: the anchor tag is moved on a new line if it is a part of a <LI> that contains an <UL> as well. See the code: the second <a> element is move to a new line, away from its parent <LI>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40359&edit=1
