From: rowanjl at gmail dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.1.4 PHP Bug Type: SimpleXML related Bug description: Unwanted reformatting of XML when using AsXML Description: ------------ When using AsXML on an element which contains children, the returned source is different from the original XML source. This prevents any direct comparison between the two.
