Description:
------------
$dom->saveXML() return:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<a><B><C/>    
    </B></a>

instead of: 
<?xml version="1.0"?><a><B><C/></B></a>



Reproduce code:
---------------
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false;

$def = '
<a>
    <B>
        <C/>    
    </B>
</a>';
$dom->loadXML($def);
echo "<pre>";
echo htmlentities($dom->saveXML());
echo "</pre>";

Expected result:
----------------
$dom->saveXML() should return
<?xml version="1.0"?><a><B><C/></B></a>


Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<a><B><C/>    
    </B></a>

Works fine on my machine, as it returns:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<a><B><C/></B></a>

What version of libxml2 are you using? 2.6.x? Something earlier?

Do you happen to be running windows? - this looks like a libxml bug using windows cr/lf endings to me but would like to be sure before bogusing this and pushing it off to the libxml list.

There are the same situation under windows xp. It doesn't work properly.

Just tested with the test-script saved in "Win" Format on OS X with libxml2-2.6.16. Then this bug is reproducable. If it's saved with unix line endings, it does the job as expected.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

libxml bug. reporting it there
