PHP Bug Type: DOM XML related
Bug description: No way of removing redundant xmlns: declarations
Description:
------------
There seems to be no good way of manipulating XML namespace declarations
at all. In particular, they never get garbage collected in any way, and you
cannot remove them manually, so they will stick around forever unless you
create a new one. My typical use case is shown in the reproduce code below
(although the element will typically have child elements).
Since 5.3 (bug #38949) it seems I can getAttribute() the xmlns element,
but still not remove it it any reasonable way (and it should really just
disappear by itself; it does in other languages).
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadXML('<html xmlns="something"><element xmlns:ns="whatever"
ns:foo="bar" /></html>');
$root = $doc->documentElement;
$elem = $root->firstChild;
$elem->removeAttributeNode($elem->attributes->item(0));
print $doc->saveXML();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html xmlns="something"><element/></html>
Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html xmlns="something"><element xmlns:ns="whatever"/></html>
