Description: ------------ In PHP 5.4 xpath() returns SimpleXMLObjects which casted to array give empty arrays. If tags have text values they aren't present in object like in PHP 5.3. Test script: --------------- $xml = simplexml_load_string(' <person> <profile> <name>PHP developer</name> </profile> </person>'); // get all names $xml = $xml->xpath('/person/profile/name'); // get first result $xml = reset($xml); // show result print_r($xml); Expected result: ---------------- In PHP 5.3 the (expected) result is SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] => PHP developer ) Casting this to an array will result: array(0 => 'PHP developer') which is ok. Actual result: -------------- In PHP 5.4 the result is SimpleXMLElement Object ( ) If we cast this to an array will result an empty array, but we expected text values. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62203&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62203&r=mysqlcfg
