#41584 [Opn->Fbk]: SimpleXML emits wrong spurious notice...

ID: 41584 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: judas dot iscariote at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: SimpleXML related Operating System: any PHP Version: 5CVS-2007-06-04 (CVS) New Comment: 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?
