Description: ------------ Hi, it would be great to be able to serialize/unserialize CDATA elements. As XML_Serializer sits on top of XML_Util and Util does provide this feature, maybe it's not that hard to integrate this into XML_Serializer as well. Thank you very much for your efforts! Best regards, Torsten Roehr

One more thing: Why is htmlspecialchars() applied by default when serializing? Shouldn't the resulting XML string be output-neutral? Maybe you could add an option for this that defaults to true to keep BC. Thank you.

htmlspecialchars() replaces <, >, &, " and ', those characters may not be used in XML documents, thus they are replaced.

I don't know about serializing CDATA Elements with XML_Serializer, but unserialize works. Though the data's spaces are trimmed at beginning and end (in the endHandler of XML_Unserializer), which is definitively undesired. If you kindly could consider this in the next release? Thanks!

Could you please open a different bug report for this? one is a new feature, the other one is a bug. Thanks. Stephan

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
