Summary

0006004: SimpleXML reorders attributes

Description

When adding attributes with SimpleXML, the attributes get reordered in alphabetic order. This causes issues when comparing XML documents.

The following code snippet:

$xml=simplexml_load_string('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><test/>');
$child=$xml->addChild('foo', 'bar');
$child->addAttribute('xyz', 'first');
$child->addAttribute('abc', 'second');
echo '

' . htmlentities($xml->asXML()) . '

';

Outputs:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test><foo abc="second" xyz="first">bar</foo></test>

Notes
(0006709) nam 07-03-16 13:07	According to the W3C DOM specs, attribute ordering is not guaranteed. It would be nice to match PHP, but it is not possible because Java's Xerces XML implementation does not support attribute ordering.
