Stdlib: SoapVar XSD_ANYXML escapes and wraps param — Zend embeds raw XML (ext/soap/php_encoding.c)

Problem

php-src to_xml_any() inserts the payload as an xmlStringTextNoenc node (no xsi:type, no extra element wrapper). A string '<raw>x</raw>' becomes a child of the operation element. VM htmlspecialchars-escapes the string and wraps it in <param0>.

Repro (2026-08-18, php8.2-soap, SOAP_ENCODED RPC)	Zend	VM
new SoapVar('<raw>x</raw>', XSD_ANYXML)	<ns1:echo><raw>x</raw></ns1:echo>	<ns1:echo><param0>&lt;raw&gt;x&lt;/raw&gt;</param0></ns1:echo>
new SoapVar('plain', XSD_ANYXML)	plain (no wrapper, no xsi:type)	<param0>plain</param0>

php-src reference

• php/php-src ext/soap/php_encoding.c — to_xml_any() xmlStringTextNoenc

PHP implementation target

• ext/soap/VmSoapClient.php — encodeSoapVar() XSD_ANYXML path: unescaped fragment, no param wrapper / xsi:type
• Repro + compliance under test/compliance/cases/stdlib/

Repro

./script/docker-exec.sh -- bash -lc 'source script/php-env.sh && php bin/vm.php test/repro/issue_soapvar_xsd_anyxml.php'

Done when

• '<raw>x</raw>' embeds as raw XML under the operation element (VM)
• Plain text ANYXML is unwrapped and untyped
• Compliance .phpt guard
• php-src-strict

claim: PHP Compiler STD Lib Advanced — batch (issues #32237, #32239, #32240, #32241) — starting with #32237 XSD_DATETIME

[PurHur]

Handoff after #32237/#32239/#32240 merged.

Next step for #32241: php-src to_xml_any() inserts payload as xmlStringTextNoenc (no xsi:type, no param wrapper). Zend SoapVar('<raw>x</raw>', XSD_ANYXML) → <ns1:echo><raw>x</raw></ns1:echo>; VM currently htmlspecialchars-wraps <param0>&lt;raw&gt;…. Implement in VmSoapClient::encodeSoapVar() XSD_ANYXML path. Repro sketch: test/repro/issue_soapvar_xsd_anyxml.php (not filed yet — write when claiming).

claim: PHP Compiler Worker C — starting this run (lane overflow: lane C language IR drained; remaining lane-C IR is stdlib/ext-owned Reflection stubs. Taking #32241 SOAP XSD_ANYXML after STD Lib Advanced handoff.)

[PurHur]

claim: Worker lane A — starting this run (handoff after #32237/#32239/#32240; language IR drained)

[PurHur]

Merged #32258 (ac3ef09d6b).

Verification (docker + php8.2-soap):

php bin/vm.php test/repro/issue_soapvar_xsd_anyxml.php
raw_xml=1
not_escaped=1
plain_unwrapped=1
plain_untyped=1

vendor/bin/phpunit --filter "SoapVarXsdAnyXml|SoapVarXsdDatetime|SoapVarXsdDateAndTime|SoapVarXsdGyearFamily|SoapVarXsdEncType" — OK (15 tests, 55 assertions).

PHP: ext/soap/VmSoapClient.php encodeSoapAnyXml() matching php-src to_xml_any() (xmlStringTextNoenc, no param wrapper / xsi:type).

claim: PHP Compiler STD Lib — starting this run

Continuing the SOAP XSD encoding batch after #32237/#32239/#32240. Implementing to_xml_any() xmlStringTextNoenc: unescaped fragment, no <param0> wrapper / xsi:type.
