Summary: DOMNodeList should implement Traversable
Status: Closed
Type: Feature/Change Request
Package: DOM XML related
Operating System: *
PHP Version: 5.1.5
Assigned To: jpauli

New Comment:
iterator_to_array() accepts any terversable, therefore there is no need to wrap
the DOMNodeList into an IteratorIterator first, it can be converted to array
*directly*
<?php
$xml = '<queries><query attr1="value"></query></queries>';
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadXML($xml);
$queries = $doc->getElementsByTagName('queries');
$nodes = iterator_to_array($queries);
?>
The key used per each node is some kind of ID (positive, long integer) and it
seems to be unique. Using an array can be useful because a DOMNodeList
automatically re-orders if nodes therein are deleted. This is not the case with
the array (naturally).

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
DomNodeListe implements Traversable. You can convert a Traversable object to an
Iterator using the IteratorIterator
class.
<?php
$xml = '<queries><query attr1="value"></query></queries>';
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadXML($xml);
$queries = $doc->getElementsByTagName('queries');
$nodes = iterator_to_array(new IteratorIterator($queries));
?>

This bug exists further reproducibly on PHP5.2

Another Code to reproduce the Bug:
----------------------------------
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'ISO-8859-1');
$dom->load('file.xml');
$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($dom->childNodes,
RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
foreach($iterator as $name => $element) {
print $name . "\n";
}
Expected result:
----------------
A recursive List of all Elements
Actual result:
--------------
"Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to
RecursiveIteratorIterator::__construct() must implement interface Traversable,
instance of DOMNodeList given, called in [
] and defined in [
]"
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description:
------------
Currently, a DOMNodeList object can be traversed using a foreach loop, but it
cannot be converted to an array using iterator_to_array(), as it produces an
error "Warning: iterator_to_array() expects parameter 1 to be Traversable,
object given"
Reproduce code:
---------------
$xml = '<queries><query attr1="value"></query></queries>';
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadXML($xml);
$queries = $doc->getElementsByTagName('queries');
$nodes = iterator_to_array($queries);
Expected result:
----------------
The nodes in the NodeList are returned as an array.
Actual result:
--------------
"Warning: iterator_to_array() expects parameter 1 to be Traversable, object
given"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
