Description: ------------ I assume you know about this issue, but I figured I'd add it anyway so that it's on a to-do list (and so that I know when I can start using XML_Tree w/ PHPUnit). I discovered this bug because it is causing PHPUnit, which includes XML_Tree w/ error supression (@), to die quietly. Reproduce code: --------------- any include of XML_Tree in PHP >= 5.0.0b4 Actual result: -------------- Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' in /usr/local/lib/php/XML/Tree.php on line 333

There are two problem locations: Tree.php and Tree/Node.php Just run the following through vim "%s/clone/clone_is_a_protected_keyword/g" :-) Should work then. Cheers, Dave

I did an s/clone/cloneTree/ in both these files, seems like a good name for it... As 2.0 is a new major version, and this is all thats needed to make the package work in PHP5, I would suggest, even though its beta, to break the API... Or you could do: if (version_compare('5.0.0',phpversion()) === 1) { function clone (...) { .... } } else { function cloneTree(...) { .... } } Ugly but at least its not an API break in PHP4 where XML_Tree is undoubhtedly already in production use... - Davey

Renamed XML_Tree::clone() to XML_Tree::cloneTree() and XML_Tree_Node::clone() to XML_Tree_Node::cloneNode() - included in my uber patch. - Davey
