After a discussion with Christian, I do agree that there is something wrong with the logics SimpleXML uses. When you use $obj->element[0] it actually uses $obj->element (well, I can see the reasoning, but it's a bit non-obvious). On the other hand, when you try to write $obj->element[1], the result is NULL 'cause there is no element #1. I guess sxe_prop_dim_read() should automatically create elements when used with BP_VAR_W/BP_VAR_RW. Marcus, what do you think about it? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-04 11:12:37] [EMAIL PROTECTED] IMO the warning is correct and the code is not. I don't understand what you're trying to do with $object[0]->property - is this supposed to created a property named '0' and assign an empty object to it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-04 10:09:37] judas dot iscariote at gmail dot com Description: ------------ [different problem, but a follow up of bug 41582 The following code emits a wrong notice, rendering this stuff more or less useless in write context...
