Operating system: FreeBSD 7.1
PHP version: 5.2.11
PHP Bug Type: XML related
Bug description: libxml 2.7.3+ limits text nodes to 10MB
Description:
------------
Since version 2.7.3 libxml limits the maximum size of a single text node
to 10MB.
The limit can be removed with a new option, XML_PARSE_HUGE.
PHP has no way to specify this option to libxml.
I found the bug when making af SOAP-request where the reply contained a
20MB string.
SoapClient->__call() threw an exception: 'looks like we got no XML
document'
Using libxml_use_internal_errors(true) and libxml_get_errors() I could
narrow it down to a LibXMLError, code 5, 'Extra content at the end of the
document' - but the specified line and column was in the middle of a large
text node.
Using SoapClient->__getLastResponse() I saved the response to a file.
The xmllib program xmllint then revealed the cause:
> xmllint --noout soap_response.txt
soap_response.txt:111834: error: xmlSAX2Characters: huge text node: out of
memory
We need a way to specify the XML_PARSE_HUGE option to libxml - perhaps
something like a new function: libxml_parse_huge(true).
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$xml = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?><test>" .
str_repeat('A', 12000000) . "</test>";
file_put_contents('file.xml', $xml);
$sxe = simplexml_load_file('file.xml');
if ($sxe instanceof SimpleXMLElement) {
echo 'OK\n';
}
else {
var_dump($sxe);
}
Expected result:
----------------
OK
Actual result:
--------------
