#49251 [Ver->Bgs]: wrong object created

ID: 49251 Updated by: rrichards@php.net Reported By: ies_clan at hotmail dot com -Status: Verified +Status: Bogus Bug Type: SimpleXML related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.*, 6 (2009-08-17) New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php simpleXML returns simpleXML objects when accessing properties of the document, and calling new on the returned object, creates a new object of that type returned. You need to cast to string before calling new, i.e.: $mclass = (string)$Xml->classname; $XmlClass = new $mclass('<root />'); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-17 18:22:32] jani@php.net And it only happens with 'new'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-17 18:19:09] jani@php.net Quite weird indeed.
