ID: 44108 Comment by: hubert dot roksor at gmail dot com Reported By: php dot net at trueprices dot net Status: Open Bug Type: SimpleXML related Operating System: Debian PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: If $child2 is <wsdl:operation/> then $child3 will be <wsdl:input/> or <wsdl:output/> and there will be no $child4. Unless this behaviour is considered as a bug by the developer and until it is fixed, you'll have to specify the children's namespace when calling children(): - $child2->children('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/') on PHP 5.1 and later or - $child2->children('wsdl', true) on PHP 5.2 and later Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-13 12:47:53] php dot net at trueprices dot net Description: ------------ SimpleXMLelement has no children() on element with only attributes? I try to retreive an element by xpath which goes without problems, The child elements it contains (same namespace) are all empty element with only attributes. However the returned SimpleXML element does not contain any children? so i'm unable to retreive there attributes. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $data = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <wsdl:definitions xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" > <wsdl:portType name="qxqPortType"> <wsdl:operation name="SOAP_set"> <wsdl:input message="SetRequest"/> <wsdl:output message="SetResponse"/> </wsdl:operation> <wsdl:operation name="SOAP_get"> <wsdl:input message="GetRequest"/> <wsdl:output message="GetResponse"/> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:portType> </wsdl:definitions>'; echo '<pre>'; $xml = simplexml_load_string($data); if ($xml) { $res2 = $xml->xpath('//wsdl:portType/wsdl:operation'); //print_r($res); foreach ($res2 as $child2) { //print_r($child2->children()); echo 'child2'.PHP_EOL; print_r($child2->getName().PHP_EOL); print_r(count($child2->children()).PHP_EOL); print_r($child2); foreach ($child2->children() as $child3) { echo 'child3'.PHP_EOL; print_r($child3->getName().PHP_EOL); print_r(count($child3->children()).PHP_EOL); print_r($child3); foreach ($child3->children() as $child4) { echo 'child4'.PHP_EOL; print_r($child4->getName().PHP_EOL); print_r(count($child4->children()).PHP_EOL); print_r($child4); } } } } echo '</pre>'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- child2 & child3 & child4 should be printed.. child2 operation 2 SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [name] => SOAP_set ) ) child2 operation 2 SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [name] => SOAP_set ) /* 2 another simplexml element input & output with children & attributes*/ ) Actual result: -------------- Only child2 prints with 0 children child2 operation 0 SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [name] => SOAP_set ) ) child2 operation 0 SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [name] => SOAP_get ) ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44108&edit=1
