 Bug Type:         DOM XML related
 Operating System: Linux, Win XP
 PHP Version:      5.1.2
 New Comment:

Changed status back to open since I believe that 

$internal_doc2 = DOMDocument::loadXML($xml);

is a static call that does not return what it should. 

If I didn't get something right I am really sorry, but I still believe
this is a bug.

Hi,

I thought I was aware of that. But isn't

$internal_doc2 = DOMDocument::loadXML($xml);

a static call to DOMDocument? That's the one that works fine _outside_
of a DOMDocument but not inside a class that extends DOMDocument.

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

DOMDocument::loadXML will return DOMDocument only when called staticly

Description:
------------
If you extend DOMDocument and try to use DOMDocument::loadXML() on a
new DOMDocument within the extended class, this function will return
true instead of a new instance of DOMDocument.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

class xDOMDocument extends DOMDocument {

        public function newDom($xml) {

                $internal_doc1 = new DOMDocument;
                $internal_doc1->loadXML($xml);
                print_r($internal_doc1);

                $internal_doc2 = DOMDocument::loadXML($xml);
                print_r($internal_doc2);

        }
}

$xml = '<def>Test</def>';
$dom = new xDOMDocument();
$dom->newDom($xml);


Expected result:
----------------
DOMDocument Object
(
)
DOMDocument Object
(
)

Actual result:
--------------
DOMDocument Object
(
)
1
