Subject: libxml returns codes and xmlreader
From: scope@planetavent.de ("Nicolai Scheer")



Hi again!

Please excuse if this is a duplicate, my web
mailer choked on that one :/

----------

I've
noticed, that some of the libxml return codes
get
"simplified" when used in xmlreader which can be quite
problematic.

I opened a bug report about this behaviour:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55459

The question is, wether
this is considered a bug at all or is
rather seen as a change request.

Throughout the whole xmlreader
extension libxml's 1, 0, -1 return
codes are simply mapped to
true/false.

The fix is trivial, but
I don't know if
changing the return code of these php functions might
break existing
code.

I'm short of a really easy way of working
around
that problem. Of course I could rename the xmlreader extension, fix
it and could load a fixed version, but that seems awkward.

Any
suggestions?

Greetings,

Nico
