I am processing an XML compliant input of XHTML using XPATH in PHP like this:
$xml=new DOMDocument();
$xml->loadXML(utf8_encode($temp));
[...]
$temp=utf8_decode($xml->saveXML());
The problem that arises is that nodes that may not be self closing according to the HTML5 specs, e.g.
<textarea id="something"></textarea>
or a div to leverage by JS
<div id="someDiv" class="whaever"></div>
come back out as
<textarea id="something" />
and
<div id="someDiv" class="whaever" />
I currently address this by using str_replace
, but that's nonsese as I need to match individual cases. How can I solve this?
At the same time XPATH insists on putting out
xmlns:default="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
and on individual nodes freshly created, it puts stuff like <default:p>
. How do I stop that without resorting to stupid search and replace like this:
$temp=str_replace(' xmlns:default="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" '," ",$temp);
$temp=str_replace(' xmlns:default="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"'," ",$temp);
$temp=str_replace('<default:',"<",$temp);
$temp=str_replace('</default:',"</",$temp);
?
EDIT: I'm really getting trouble with the stupid search and replace and I do not intend to attack the output XHTML with RegExp. Consider this example:
<div id="videoPlayer0" class="videoPlayerPlacement" data-xml="video/cp_IV_a_1.xml"/>
Obviously self-closing divs are illegal (at least in one context where I cannot output as mime application/xhtml+xml but am forced to use mime text/html) and in all other cases they sure don't validate.

Sorry for the late reply, but you know... it was Christmas. :D
In your example
echo export_html($dom);
will produceMerry Christmas! ^_^
