-Status: Open
+Status: Bogus
Bug Type: DOM XML related
Operating System: linux
PHP Version: 5.2.0
New Comment:
$dom = new DOMDocument( "1.0", 'UTF-8' );
$dom->appendChild( $dom->createElement( 'root',' ' ));
var_dump( trim( $dom->saveXML() ) );
prints out
string(57) "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root> </root>"
Anyway, this is really not a PHP issue (if it is one at
all), but a libxml2 issue. If you still think this is a bug,
report it there

Thanks for the quick response. I did change the bug status back to
"open" but I didn't assign it, [EMAIL PROTECTED] did.
I believe you're right that this particular example both XML strings
are the same, but only because the NCR I used represents a printable
character. A non-printable character must be represented as its NCR.
There's no way to craft a node whose value contains an NCR, and as
such, no way to create an element whose value contains non-printable
characters.

<root> </root> and <root> </root> (the space here being
a non breakable space) is the same in the XML context... It
doesn't matter, if your write a character as numerical entity
or with the actual char. It's the same. You have to live with
that.
And please don't just assign bugs...

I'm aware of the differences in escaping between createElement() and
createTextNode() and neither one does what I describe. createElement()
unescapes NCRs (as I described in the original description) while
createTextNode() escapes values.
In a nutshell, using createElement() I end up with "<root> </root>",
and using createTextNode() I end up with "<root>&#0160;</root>".
There is no way to generate the literal XML "<root> </root>"
using either createElement() OR createTextNode()

It was decided to leave it as it is (for backwards
compatibility reasons)
use $dom->createTextNode() for the behaviour you want.

There's a trivial error in the expected result text: the string length
produced by var_dump() should be 65, not 59.
