If the this change stays in 4.0.6 please please at least update the documentation and clearly state the difference between 4.0.5 and 4.0.6. chregu -- nam...christian stockeradr...bremgartnerstr. 66, ch-8003 zurich pho...+41 1 451 6021 www...http://phant.ch/chregu mob...+41 76 561 8860 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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]

Well the commit I plan on reversing in the branch what happened during 4.0.6-dev, I got permission from Uwe, so I'll go ahead and do that. -Sterling -- 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]
[PHP-DEV] issues about domxml in 4.0.6
Hello As mentioned in bug #9896 the api for domxml seems to has changed a lot... it's now almost impossible to write code with domxml which works in 4.0.5 and 4.0.6. for example $root-children() returns a completely different Array (tagname instead of name and so on...). Does this make sense for a minor-update? And all the domxml function still just produce a segfault on 4.0.6. if this is not supported anymore, fine ($root-children() instead of domxml_children($root) works also in 4.0.5), but i'd prefer a fatal error instead of a segfault :) Maybe I have to live with all these api-changes and as soon as all our servers have 4.0.6, it won't be a problem for me. But I think i'm not the only one which disturbs that a little bit. chregu -- nam...christian stockeradr...bremgartnerstr. 66, ch-8003 zurich pho...+41 1 451 6021 www...http://phant.ch/chregu mob...+41 76 561 8860 [EMAIL PROTECTED] off...+41 1 240 2304 icq...4196137 -- 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]

Does this make sense for a minor-update? No, it does not make any sense. Just curious..what would you think the version number change should be? So that it would tell you that there has been major changes? --Jani -- 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]

I fixed a few memory leaks I found in that extension, but my feeling is that there are still lots of them and also many bugs lurking in there. I don't know where Uwe is or what he plans to do with the extension.. -Andrei * Syntactic sugar causes cancer of the semicolon. -- Alan Perlis * -- 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]
Re: [PHP-DEV] issues about domxml in 4.0.6
I've contacted Uwe, and if he doesn't object (or respond ;) within the next day or so, I'll revert the commit in the 4_0_6 branch (leaving head alone). Whoa. Are you saying that 4.0.6 will revert to the domxml syntax that was in 4.0.4 and previous? And that 4.0.5 will just have it's own syntax? I've already updated all my scripts to the new syntax, assuming it was the way of the future. Don't tell me we are back-pedalling now! - Colin -- 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]

Ok, maybe I won't ;))) its odd though, the NEWS file seems to show that 4.0.6 is the release where the syntax changes, not 4.0.5, perhaps we're talking about two different commits (in 4.0.4 DOM-XML was also overhauled)? Its just the new syntax seems to be quite buggy (leaks and crashes) and a large amount of people are getting surprised and annoyed by the new syntax as the documentation does not reflect it, and neither do any of the notes in the NEWS file. -Sterling -- 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]
