Please read http://jp1.php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php In simplexml, root node is assumed always exists and represented as var. So you cannot refer to it.

I am trying to count how many nodes are under another node in an xml document by counting them with count(). For some reason, even when I have more than one node, it always returns 1. Same with the children() function. Basically in my code, I'm trying to prove that Order->OrderLines['NumLines'] == count(Order->OrderLines->OrderLine) Reproduce code: --------------- XML Fragment: <Order> <OrderLines NumLines="2"> <OrderLine Number="1" StampID="435" Quantity="2" /> <OrderLine Number="2" StampID="733" Quantity="5" /> </OrderLines> </Order> PHP Code; $order = $xml->Order; // set previously count($order->OrderLines->children())) or count($order->OrderLines->OrderLine) Expected result: ---------------- 2 Actual result: -------------- 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=56239&edit=1
