Summary: NULL in method arguments is casted to string?
Status: Bogus
Type: Bug
Package: DOM XML related
Operating System: all ? xp x64
PHP Version: 5.3.2
New Comment:
i don't think that is like you think
if i extend appendChild
override appendChild($name, $content = NULL, $myNewArg = NULL)
if i want to skip the second argument i can not
or another issue:
as php doc says
DOMImplementation->createDocument ([ string $namespaceURI = NULL [,
string $qualifiedName = NULL [, DOMDocumentType $doctype = NULL ]]]
)
third parameter is optional (=NULL)
but if i do
$x->createDocument(null, null, null); to create an empty document
exception is thrown:
Argument 3 passed to DOMImplementation::createDocument() must be an
instance of DOMDocumentType, null given
if i do createDocument(); obviously works, but the concept of "skipping
not required parameters with null" is not respected

They're not equivalent: you're providing a value for the "value"
parameter to DOMDocument::createElement(), so yes, it will get coerced
into an empty string using PHP's usual type juggling mechanism.

Description:
------------
hi, test this:
header("Content-Type: text/plain");
$doc = new \DOMDocument()
$doc->appendChild($doc->createElement("root", NULL));
echo $doc->saveXML();
echo "\n\nshould be equivalent to:\n\n";
$doc = new \DOMDocument()
$doc->appendChild($doc->createElement("root"));
echo $doc->saveXML();
i hope other DOM methods will work good... otherwise fix is needed
thank you!
