[TYPO3-core] RFC: #9359: XML Problems with PHP5 and libxml

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi,

This is an SVN patch request.

Type: Bug

Bugtracker reference: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=10607

Branches: trunk, 4.2

Problem:
When using PHP5 with libxml (eg 2.7.1), HTML entities are stripped from 
any XML content (FCEs, Flexforms, etc) when its saved or retrieved.

For things like RTE content, this means that "<LINK 43>Page with UID 
43</LINK>" is not actually transformed into a link but instead renders 
in the frontend at "LINK 43Page with UID 43/LINK"

This also affects Flexible Content Elements if HTML entities were used 
for Typoscript assignments, such as "10 < styles.content.get". A 
previous working FCE and the assignment operator removed and thus 
renders no content at all.

For more information on the bug, see 
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=43486 [^] and 
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45996. [^]

It remains to be seen how widespread this issue will become or how 
quickly PHP will patch it, but one helpful option for new sites is to 
enable the useCDATA option from t3lib_div::array2xml. This will cause 
TYPO3 to insert CDATA anytime there are html entities within the 
content. Once CDATA is present, the new content will work as expected.

Solution:
Force use of CDATA.
The patch is originally from Jeff, i had the same problem where this 
patch solved the problem, and in the BT entry you find other users where 
the patch solved the problems.
