PHP Bug Type: XML related
Bug description: xml_parse_into_struct() chokes on the UTF-8 BOM
Description:
------------
In PHP4 xml_parse_into_struct() can parse an UTF-8-encoded XML file with
or without a UTF-8 BOM (\xEF\xBB\xBF). In PHP 5, this is no longer the
case and it raises an error saying the string doesn't contain any XML data
(Empty document).
Additionally PHP 5's xml_parse_into_struct() does *NOT* place default
attribute values into the struct (e.g. despite the DTD provided,
$content[1]['attributes']['type'] isn't set to "literal" in actual result
section below ; please compare it to expected result.) This used to work
under PHP 4.1.x and above (but the parser is based on expat AFAIK.)
PS: I guess "manually" stripping this magic number -- if embedded --
before calling the function would yield the expected result. However I
found an acceptable work-around that seems to work equally well across
versions 4 and 5 of PHP :
<?php
...
$parser = xml_parser_create('');
xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING, $encoding);
...
?>
Rather than:
<?php
...
$parser = xml_parser_create($encoding);
...
?>
