Description:
------------
When executing the demo code found at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocument-construct.php I obtain the error message.

"Warning: domdocument() expects parameter 2 to be long"

My understanding (from the online docs) is that the 2nd parameter is to be of type string.

Also, according to the documentation, this is the php 5 replacment to DOM_XML i.e. this is DOM XML. Note that there is no sub-category for just DOM so the next logical place to put errors such as these would be either DOM XML or Documentation bug.



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?PHP
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'iso-8859-1');
echo $dom->saveXML();
?>



Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: domdocument() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in C:\temp\test_xml.php on line 2

Fatal error: Call to undefined method domdocument::saveXML() in C:\temp\test_xml.php on line 3

The reproduce code is as follows:

$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'iso-8859-1');
echo $dom->saveXML();

Looks like you're testing that against PHP 4.3.

I get exactly your error with PHP 4.3, but not with PHP 5...

Sorry .. testing with 5.0.4.

Do not file bugs when you have Zend extensions (zend_extension=)
loaded. Examples are Zend Optimizer, Zend Debugger, Turck MM Cache,
APC, Xdebug and ionCube loader.  These extensions often modify engine
behavior which is not related to PHP itself.

My bad folks.... 

extension=php_domxml.dll 

was still active and caused this issue.

I apologize for the wasted time. =(

Did you load  php_domxml.dll instead if php_dom.dll?
 [2005-04-18 21:38 UTC] jj at intelequest dot com 
Yes, the problem was with my php.ini whereby I was loading the php_domxml.dll in the extensions. Once I removed that from the extensions and restarted the web service all was good with instantiating that DOMDocument() object.

Not a real bug -> setting status to Bogus.
