Description:
------------
As the test case shows, it does not appear that the default handler is being called under PHP5RC1.  The other handlers seem to work but the default handler is required to get the document type line.  PHP4.3.5 works. Using libxml2 2.6.5.



Reproduce code:
---------------
function x_default_handler($xp,$data) 
{ 
    echo "x_default_handler $data\n"; 
} 
$xp = xml_parser_create(); 
xml_set_default_handler($xp,'x_default_handler'); 
xml_parse($xp,'<root></root>',TRUE); 
xml_parser_free($xp); 
echo "Parse Test " . PHP_VERSION . " Done\n"; 


Expected result:
----------------
x_default_handler <root> 
x_default_handler </root> 
Parse Test 5.0.0RC1 Done 


Actual result:
--------------
Parse Test 5.0.0RC1

It is a bug in the compatibility layer used when ext/xml is build with libxml2. It works fine with expat.

..but what can i do, if i want to run my current php4 
applications with php5 and other webs the new libxml2 
stuff? its not really a solution, only a workaround ...

You can always tell ext/xml to use external expat libraries 
by using --with-libxml-dir configure option (it won't help of course if you're using precompiled binaries)

See also bug #32441 for another example script.

Rob, you grok libxml2 better than me, mind taking a look at this one?

All default handling needs to be hand coded in compat.c for each of the different events while also trying to keep the same behavior as expat.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.
