From: Operating system: CentOS 5 PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:XMLReader cannot store values in arrays
Description: ------------ I have tried every way possible to store the values from an XML sheet using XMLReader in an array. The XML sheet is valid. I have tried this on two systems now, both with the same problem. Colleagues cannot find anything wrong either. Example code is below: CODE: $reader = new XMLReader(); $url = 'http://xml.com/info.php'; // not a real URL $reader->open($url); $i = 0; $j = 0; while ($reader->read()) { if ($reader->nodeType == XMLReader::ELEMENT) { $attr[$i] = $reader->getAttribute("name"); // does not store anything $attr .= $reader->getAttribute("name"); // stores perfectly i++; } if ($reader->nodeType == XMLReader::TEXT) { $val[$j] = $reader->value; // performs the same as above $val .= $reader->value; $j++; } } Test script: --------------- $reader = new XMLReader(); $url = 'http://xml.com/info.php'; // insert a real URL to test $reader->open($url); $i = 0; while ($reader->read()) { if ($reader->nodeType == XMLReader::TEXT) { $val[$i] = $reader->value; // does not work //$val .= $reader->value; // for demonstration only, works properly $i++; } } print_r($val); Expected result: ---------------- When using a valid URL and XML sheet, "print_r" should print an array of all values stored. Actual result: -------------- Instead, the entire array is empty. As soon as you use .= instead of storing in an array, everything is printed fine simply using "echo". -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51837&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51837&r=mysqlcfg
