From: matteosistisette at gmail dot com Operating system: all PHP version: Irrelevant Package: SimpleXML related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:SimpleXMLElement needs a way to add text content to a node
Description: ------------ There is currently no way (except for this horrible hack http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3153477/how-can-i-set-text-value-of- simplexmlelement-without-using-its-parent) to add or modify the text content of a xml node with SimpleXMLElement. It needs methods called somethig like addTextContent() or setTextContent() or addTextNode() or whatever. Now please don't tell me this is a feature request. This is a huge design flaw. This is the lack of an obvious, vital feature. Test script: --------------- $xml_a=new SimpleXMLElement("<data/>"); $xml_b=new SimpleXMLElement("<data>someText</data>"); //Now try to modify $xml_a so that it becomes like $xml_b //It's impossible. /* You would need something like: $xml_a->addContent("someText"); or $xml_a->addTextNode("someText"); or $xml_a->setContent("someText"); No way you can accomplish that*/ -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64440&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64440&r=mysqlcfg
