Operating system: probably irrelevant
PHP version: 5.1.4
PHP Bug Type: SimpleXML related
Bug description: SimpleXML and loss of entities
Description:
------------
When assigning values to node parameters, entities are not escaped,
however when reading values, the entities are replaced by their meaning.
i.e. assigning and reading behave assymetric.
Suggestion: Add escaping of values that are assigned.
Kind of workaround: Use htmlspecialchars() manually on values before
assigning. (This workaround will not work for ')
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$rawxml = '<root par="F" />';
$test = 'A " B';
$rr = simplexml_load_string($rawxml);
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
echo($rr["par"]);
echo("\n");
echo("\n");
$rr["par"] = $test;
echo($rr->asXML());
echo("\n");
echo($rr["par"]);
echo("\n");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
F
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root par="A "quot; B"/>
A " B
Actual result:
--------------
F
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root par="A " B"/>
A " B
