Bug description: Accessing object elements returns object
Description:
------------
When using simplexml to access a element the returned object it returns a
object instead of a string
Have to type cast it as a (string) to get the information back, Should not
have to typecast.
If a typecast is required it should be specificed in the docs.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$string = <<<XML
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<document>
<cmd>login</cmd>
<login>Richard</login>
</document>
XML;
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
print_r($xml);
$login = $xml->login;
print_r($login);
$login = (string) $xml->login;
print_r($login);
Expected result:
----------------
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[cmd] => login
[login] => Richard
)
Richard
Richard
Actual result:
--------------
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[cmd] => login
[login] => Richard
)
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => Richard
)
Richard
