Description:
------------
DOMDocument::loadHTML() stops processing the source string after a null byte (U+0000) without issuing any exception or warning.

I have tested that this happens in PHP versions 5.5.34, 5.6.20 and 7.0.5.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$html = <<<EOD
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<div>Pre NULL byte</div>
\0
<div>Post NULL byte</div>
</html>
EOD;

$dom = new \DOMDocument('1.0');
$dom->validateOnParse = true;
$dom->loadHTML($html);
echo $dom->saveHTML();

Expected result:
----------------
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><body><div>Pre NULL byte</div>

<div>Post NULL byte</div>
</body></html>

Actual result:
--------------
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><body><div>Pre NULL byte</div></body></html>

Thanks for the report. The input comes as a binary safe string in PHP, then we reevaluate it using xmlStrlen(). But even without it, libxml2 will retain same behavior just silently stopping. Thus it is not a bug in PHP, this should be reevaluated once libxml2 has a better HTML5support. Please see also this couple of links
