Status: Open
Bug Type: SimpleXML related
Operating System: windows, linux
PHP Version: 5.2.6
New Comment:
There might be a misunderstanding here. First of all, there is no "$xml
array", $xml is a SimpleXMLElement object. Secondly, SimpleXML does a
fair amount of magic behind the scene (to make your life easier :)), and
functions such as print_r() or var_dump() cannot display a complete, or
accurate, representation of the node you're trying to inspect. If you
really want to know the inside of a node, use asXML() instead.
In short, this is not a bug. Those attributes do exist and you can
access them normally. print_r() simplay lacks the means, and semantics,
to display XML them.

Description:
------------
SimplyXML fails to load element attributes and values
Tried with PHP 5.2.5 and 5.2.6, on Linux and Windows systems and got
the same result.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$xmlstr = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>
<optgroup label="Non-Teen">
<option value="5">Under 5</option>
<option value="9">Five to Ten</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Teen">
<option value="10">Aspiring Teen</option>
<option value="15">Mid Teen</option>
<option value="19">End Teen</option>
</optgroup>
</test>
XML;
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
print_r ($xml);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
The $xml array should have a SimpleXMLElement containing the "value"
attribute for each "option" element
Actual result:
--------------
The "value" attributes of the "option" elements are not being loaded in
the $xml array
