I would recommend that you re-test that in 5.3.6, as there were a few changes. I don't know what they were specifically, as I never looked at the 5.2 SimpleXML code. But I also see one issue with your example. You look for all child elements in namespace 'http://localhost/a' as follows: foreach ($xml->children('http://localhost/a') as $elem) { unset($elem['attr']); $elem['attr']="new"; $elem['attr']="three"; echo $elem['attr']."\n"; } I would expect the children() method to return just the last two elements of your input XML: <root xmlns="http://localhost/a"; xmlns:ns="http://localhost/a";> <elem attr="abc"/> <elem ns:attr="abc"/> <ns:elem attr="abc"/> <ns:elem ns:attr="abc"/> </root> as the last two elements are the only ones in the 'http://localhost/a' namespace. But this might be affected by the fact that you specified a namespace on the constructor. I'm not entirely sure what specifying a namespace on the constructor does, but I feel it is best avoided (and it isn't described in the docs). So rather than: $xml = simplexml_load_string($str,'SimpleXMLElement',0,'http://localhost/a'); just: $xml = simplexml_load_string($str); Tom -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
