Bug description:asXML($filename) url-decodes $filename
Description:
------------
I was saving a SimpleXML object and kept getting errors that the file could
not be written. Upon further examination, I discovered that the directory
containg an url-encoded slash (%2F) and while the directory existed as an
encoded string (e.g. 'dir1%2Fdir2/file.xml') asXML was explicitly
unencoding it and attempting to write to a different directory (which does
not exist, e.g. 'dir1/dir2.xml'). No amounts of double-encoding the
filename succeeded in creating the file successfully (same error) so I had
to resort to file_put_contents("{$dirname}/file.xml", $sXML->saveXML());
Test script:
---------------
$sXML = new SimpleXMLElement('<result />');
$filename = 'dir1%2Fdir2/result.xml';
mkdir(dirname($filename));
file_put_contents($filename, $sXML->asXML()); // works as expected
$sXML->asXML($filename); // fails; no such file/directory
Expected result:
----------------
Filename arguments given to asXML should be accepted without url-decoding
Actual result:
--------------
filenames are being url-decoded, which is not what I want or expect
