PHP 8.3.14: New DOMText ownerDocument is null after being added to a document

[ssddanbrown]

Description

The following code:

<?php
 
$html = <<<CDATA
<p>World!</p>
CDATA;

$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML($html);
$children = $doc->childNodes;

$pTag = $doc->getElementsByTagName('p')[0];
$worldTextNode = $pTag->childNodes[0];

$helloTextNode = new DOMText('Hello ');
$worldTextNode->parentNode->insertBefore($helloTextNode, $worldTextNode);

echo is_null($helloTextNode->ownerDocument) ? 'Missing owner doc' : 'Has owner doc';

Resulted in this output:

Missing owner doc

But I expected this output instead:

Has owner doc

Only seems to be apparent in PHP 8.3.14.
Here's the 3v4l view of this: https://3v4l.org/30pdS
This can easily be worked around by adopting the DOMText, or creating it through the target document ($doc->createTextNode('text')).

Not sure if it's actually an issue, or the consequence of a fix in PHP 8.3.14, but just raising if it is an unintended change, since it caught me out and produced an error in my code, so could be a compatibility issue in other cases too.
The same does not occur for DOMElement which leads me to think this could be a bug.

This was a consequence of an incomplete bugfix in 8.3.14. This is fixed already in the current 8.3 development tree and will be released with the 8.3.15 bugfix update.

A workaround for now could be to use the createTextNode method.

@nielsdos Ah, sorry for not seeing/finding that this was already patched and due to be released. Thanks for your work!

No worries.
