Summary: libxml2 2.7.1 causes breakage with character data in
xml_parse()
Status: Closed
Type: Bug
Package: XML related
Operating System: Mandriva Linux
PHP Version: 5.2.6
Assigned To: rrichards
New Comment:
Just FYI - I have been seeing what would appear to be this issue with
libxml2 2.7.6 (with Moodle), so it seems that "2.7.3 or higher" doesn't
cut it. Reverting to 2.6.32 solved the problem for me.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.
Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
This fix also requires the soon to be released libxml2-2.7.3 or higher
when using 2.7.x.

Ok, I'm going to try and rebuild the Fedora 8 source RPM to avoid the
libxml2 bug ... but I'm not all that familiar with how PHP is built ...
and could use a pointer or two on what to change on the configure
command line.
Any suggestions?

What is the recommended advice for PHP software that relies upon the XML
extension? It'd be easier to say that libxml2.7.02.7.2 wasn't supported
if it weren't for the fact that I've had at least one user come who had
LIBXML_VERSION equal to 20632 with this issue we can't just add a
LIBXML_VERSION based workaround, not just because the constant doesn't
exist on 4.3.0, but also because it is seemingly isn't reliable.

If the Fedora packages do not work then this is a RedHat packaging
problem and you should complain to them/open a bug etc. etc.
Like I say, in Mandriva we made sure we provided packages that worked
because they were compiled with expat.

Thanks for advice, but I'm not guru in the Linux, as I haven't cpanel on
my server. I tried use 'yum remove' libxml2 and add new, but off course
this is stupid and doesn't work. I liked Linux, as the easiest and
powerful system, but now, I'm stock. I haven't any idea how I can remove
libxml2 and build new system with old one. One idea - change system on
Fedora 9, because FC 10 have the same bug with fucking libxml2. Sorry, I
was at Data Center 8 hours and I had problem with servers with new
system. I don't like updates now... they have bugs every where, and I'm
tiered resolve this bugs. Sorry, Have a Happy New Year. I'll never ever
will update my systems less when half year.
