Description:
------------
I use DOMDocument::loadHTML(...) method to create DOM-tree from html-document. I want to modify some attributes of such tags as form, select, option, input. The code works as it should for all tags except <input ...>. I can't get input-element by ID.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$text = '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><input id="test">';
$xml = new DOMDocument(1.0);
$xml->loadHTML($text);
var_dump($xml->getElementByID('test'));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
object(DOMElement)#2 (0) { }

Actual result:
--------------
NULL

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

DOMDocument->validateOnParse = true;
DOMDocument->load....
-- OR --
DOMDocument->validate()
DOMDocument->getElementById()

Here is more accurate example: http://pastebin.com/579031

The result is:
1) form: object(DOMElement)#2 (0) { }
2) input: NULL
3) input: NULL 

As you can see, I`ve used validateOnParse property. getElementById()-method works fine (even without validation) with any html-tag (well, at least with those I`ve tested) except input.

Before this gets re-opened, as its still bogus. Its a libxml2 bug being taken care of there.
