PHP Bug Type: SimpleXML related
Bug description: SimpleXML inconsistent behaviour with multiple XML nodes
Description:
------------
This is a duplicate of bug 45023, which is marked as bogus but needs
reopening.
I'm seeing the same problem with the latest CVS version:
PHP 5.2.7RC2-dev (cli) (built: Nov 7 2008 15:02:08)
Mac OS 10.5.5
libxml2 2.6.30
At the moment, it's not possible to check whether a SimpleXML element is
an array or an object and iterate appropriately (as foreach() will iterate
over both an array and an object).
Reproduce code:
---------------
$xml =
simplexml_load_string('<root><item>a</item><item>b</item></root>');
print_r($xml);
foreach ($xml->item as $item)
print "\n" . 'Item: ' . (string) $item;
print "\n";
print'Type: ' . gettype($xml->item);
print "\n";
print is_array($xml->item) ? 'Is an array' : 'Not an array';
print "\n";
print_r($xml->item);
print_r($xml->item[1]);
Expected result:
----------------
gettype($xml->item) should return 'array', and is_array($xml->item) should
return true.
$xml->item should retrieve the whole array, not just the first item.
Actual result:
--------------
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[item] => Array
(
[0] => a
[1] => b
)
)
Item: a
Item: b
Type: object
Not an array
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => a
)
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => b
)
