From: Operating system: Mac OS X 10.7.2 PHP version: 5.4.0RC3 Package: SimpleXML related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:SimpleXML doesn't like empty elements with attributes
Description: ------------ If the first XML element is an empty tag, e.g. <link term="no"/>, then no elements by that name will get recognized. However, if you have many, e.g. <link> elements, and you write at least the first one as a non-empty tag, e.g. <link term="no"></link> SimpleXML will recognize all the elements (even those with empty tags. A test program that uses a test file on my web site shows this problem. Test script: --------------- $fn = "http://www.rajsingh.org/poiwg/c_error.xml";; $xml = simplexml_load_file($fn); if ( !empty($xml->link) ) { echo "number of links: " . sizeof($xml->link) . "\n"; foreach ($xml->link as $link) { echo "link href: " . $link['href'] . "\n"; } } if ( !empty($xml->relationship) ) { echo "number of relationships: " . sizeof($xml->location->relationship) . "\n"; foreach ($xml->location->relationship as $rel) { echo "relationship term: " . $rel['term'] . "\n"; } } Expected result: ---------------- number of links: 3 link href: http://www.rajsingh.org/pois/45343489.xml link href: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston link href: http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_42.358_-71.06.html number of relationships: 3 relationship term: contains relationship term: within relationship term: contains Actual result: -------------- number of links: 3 link href: http://www.rajsingh.org/pois/45343489.xml link href: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston link href: http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_42.358_-71.06.html -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60517&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60517&r=mysqlcfg
