ID: 51325 Updated by: rricha...@php.net Reported by: jean dot tiberghien at quetzalx dot fr Summary: DOMDocument::load() UTF-8 limitation -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: DOM XML related Operating System: Windows WAMP + LAMP(?) PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: 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 are passing an XML document which clearly states it is UTF-8 via the xml declaration <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> so DOM expects UTF-8. Set it to the proper encoding. Already a feature request to pass an encoding when *not* specified by encoding param in xml declaration. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-18 18:09:31] jean dot tiberghien at quetzalx dot fr Description: ------------ The DOMDocument::load() function ONLY loads UTF-8 encoded files. Ex: 'article.php' contains : $xmlDoc = new DOMDocument(); $page = 'article.xsl'; $xmlDoc->load($page); $xmlDoc->load('cours.xml'); Let's consider 'article.xsl' contains '... Précédent ...' (not pure ASCII chars) If the content of 'article.xsl' is iso-8859-1 encoded, the subsequent error appears (same if 'cours.xml' is iso-8859-1 encoded): "DOMDocument::load() [domdocument.load]: Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding ! Bytes: 0xE9 0x62 0x75 0x74 in file:///C:/wamp/www/xsl2/article.xsl, line: 71 in C:\wamp\www\xsl2\article.php on line 13" So, it's imperative to UTF-8 encode 'cours.xml' and 'article.xsl'. Of course $page = utf8_encode($page); ... is of no use, because the 'utf8_encode' only operates on the string 'article.xsl', and not on the file content !. CONCLUSION : It's not really a BUG in the ->load() function. But it would be really important to have a supplementary optional parameter, indicating the encoding of the incoming file: -----Desired improvment -----------> Add an optional parameter describing the $file actual encoding: $xmlDoc->load($page, 'iso-8859-1'); DOMDocument::load( string $file [, string $encoding]) The $encoding optional parameter thus would be useful to describe the actual $file encoding (if not UTF-8). ----------- END ---------------------- Test script: --------------- [test.php] <?php $xmlDoc = new DOMDocument(); $xmlDoc->load("cours.xml"); ?> [cours.xml] (no matter the line encoding... The problem is caused by the 'é' from 'éclair'...) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <root> <chapitre titre="Titre du chapitre 1"> <partie titre="Titre de la partie 1"> Texte éclair </partie> </chapitre> </root> (displays): Warning: DOMDocument::load() [domdocument.load]: Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding ! Bytes: 0xE9 0x63 0x6C 0x61 in file:///C:/wamp/www/xsl2/cours.xml, line: 5 in C:\wamp\www\xsl2\test.php on line 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51325&edit=1
