<?php /** * Dom\XMLDocument::C14N() drops namespace declarations on DOM-built documents * * When a Dom\XMLDocument is built via the DOM API (createElementNS, appendChild), * non-exclusive C14N() strips all namespace declarations while keeping prefixed * element names, producing invalid XML that cannot be re-parsed. * * This does NOT happen when: * - The document is parsed from a string (createFromString) * - Using legacy DOMDocument (DOM-built or parsed) * - Using exclusive C14N (C14N(exclusive: true)) * * Related: https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/20444 * Possibly related fix: https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/40c291cf932c31a302fa584bb50b6edb199fb07e * (but still broken on PHP 8.4.19) */ echo "PHP " .
