Bug description:Can't not inherit parent's namespace (patch)
Description:
------------
There are two issues:
(1) If you addChild(), the new child always inherits the namespace of the
parent. It is currently impossible to add children with no namespace, to a
parent with a namespace. Though looking at the code, it is clear that is
intent to distinguish between a NULL namespace value and a blank namespace
value. I believe the design intent was that NULL means inherit the
parent's namespace, and '' means that no namespace should be used. The
attached patch does this.
(2) If you specify a namespace of "", addChild() will actually add an
attribute of " xmlns="" ", which is not valid.
Patch is attached. If the $namespace parameter is "", no namespace is
used, which fixes both issues.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/plain');
$r = new SimpleXMLElement('<r />');
$c1 = $r->addChild('ns1:child1', NULL, 'urn:myspace1');
$c1->addChild('child2');
echo $r->asXML(), "\n";
$r = new SimpleXMLElement('<r />');
$r->addChild('Thing1', 100, '');
echo $r->asXML(), "\n";
Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<r><ns1:child1 xmlns:ns1="urn:myspace1"><ns1:child2/></ns1:child1></r>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<r><Thing1>100</Thing1></r>
Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<r><ns1:child1 xmlns:ns1="urn:myspace1"><ns1:child2/></ns1:child1></r>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<r><Thing1 xmlns="">100</Thing1></r>
