DOM document does not save

[jamesm6162]

Hi All.

 

I have run into a really strange problem.

 

I load a DOMDocument from file and then edit some of the elements

 

//$temp is some element in the DOMDocument called $doc
$t = $tmp->getElementsByTagName("title")->item(0);			
$de = $tmp->getElementsByTagName("description")->item(0);
$da = $tmp->getElementsByTagName("date")->item(0);
$img = $tmp->getElementsByTagName("image")->item(0);

$t->nodeValue = $title;
$de->nodeValue = $description; //Long text value, may contain special characters
$da->nodeValue = $dstring;

 

The description I am trying to add in the above event does not get saved at all when I call $doc->save($filename) or $doc->saveXML().

 

When I call saveXML() the <description> tag is empty, however when I call $doc->textContent, the entire text value is displayed correctly.

 

What could be causing this problem?

 

Thanks.
