Summary: DOMDocument errors on HTML5 tags
-Status: Open
+Status: Suspended
Type: Bug
Package: DOM XML related
Operating System: Mac OS X
PHP Version: 5.3.8

New Comment:
It's a valid issue, but it's really an upstream one: libxml2's HTML parser only
supports HTML 4.01, so until that's extended to support HTML5 or a new parser
is
added to libxml2, there's little to be done in PHP proper.
There are userspace parsers available: html5lib will parse documents according
to the HTML5 algorithm and give you a DOMDocument to work with.
Suspending for now. Given that the issue was first raised upstream in 2008, I
wouldn't hold your breath (although I suspect they'd love a patch).

Any progress on resolving this? Working w/ DOMDocument and HTML5 is a huge
pain in the butt right now; you have to write custom error handlers for things
like <header/>, <nav/>, and other HTML5 tags.
Also, just entered a bug report for SimpleXML (where tags w/ both attributes
and text have their attributes dropped). Both DOMDocument and SimpleXML need
updates... it's very difficult to work w/ HTML and XML when both of these APIs
have so many issues.
Thanks for your help everyone :)

Description:
------------
Loading HTML documents through DOMDocument->loadHTMLFile(), when the HTML file
contains certain new HTML5 tags, results in this error:
Warning: DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile() [domdocument.loadhtmlfile]: Tag footer
invalid in {file path here}
<footer> is a new HTML5 tag. The error appears for other HTML5 tags as well
(eg, <header>).
Test script:
---------------
// TEST.html
<header>
Some text here
</header>
// TEST.php
<?php
$dom_document = new DOMDocument();
$dom_document->loadHTMLFile("TEST.html");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
DOMDocument should not fail on HTML5 tags.
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile() [domdocument.loadhtmlfile]: Tag footer
invalid in {file path here}
