ID: 12959 User updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old Status: Bogus Status: Open Bug Type: XML related Operating System: Win98SE/Linux PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: I noticed this bug is reported in several ways here (I didn't see these before posting, the 10 bug on 1 page limit, oops :). I hope this demonstrates this bug is not yet solved, and very annoying. (The script should also be clearer than others) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-25 09:47:02] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ask on the PHP-GEneral mailling list, you are trying to use $this outside of a class so it does not work. - James ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-25 09:41:10] [EMAIL PROTECTED] When you use XML methods in a script, $this doesn't get set or is buggy. That means you can't use instance variables or methods of that object. When you run the following script you only get SE,SE,EE,EE but the variables content and instancevar aren't set. The only solution I could think of is that $this points to a wrong object, not the object that the XML methods are called in. Example script: <? class ContentParser { var $parser, $content = ""; var $instancevar; function ContentParser() { $this->parser = xml_parser_create(); xml_set_object($this->parser, &$this); xml_set_element_handler($this->parser, "start_element", "end_element"); xml_set_character_data_handler($this->parser, "character_data"); xml_set_processing_instruction_handler($this->parser, "processing_instruction"); } function parse_text ($data) { return xml_parse ($this->parser, $data, true); } function add_content($text) { $this->content .= $text; } function processing_instruction($parser, $target, $data) { } function start_element($parser, $name, $attribs) { echo "SE<br>"; $this->add_content("Start_element $name<br>"); $this->instancevar = "I should be set!!!"; } function end_element($parser, $name) { echo "EE<br>"; $this->add_content("End element $name<br>"); } function character_data($parser, $data) { $this->add_content($data); } } $c = new ContentParser(); $c->parse_text("<document><paragraph>Well this doesn't work. Bug!</paragraph></document>"); echo $c->content; // Zip. No bonus. echo $c->instancevar; ?> Am I doing something wrong or is this really a bug? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12959&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
