Bug #61335 [NEW]: Access to "naked" node returns wrong truth value

From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.4.0 Package: SimpleXML related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Access to "naked" node returns wrong truth value Description: ------------ When accessing a simplexml node as array, I always get an empty simplexml object. If I cast the node to string, the behaviour is correct. If the parent node contains nothing but the child node (not even a newline) then the behaviour is also correct. Under php 5.3, the behaviour is correct. Test script: --------------- $rec1 = simplexml_load_string("<foo><bar>aa</bar>\n</foo>"); $rec2 = simplexml_load_string("<foo><bar>aa</bar></foo>"); if ($rec1->bar[0]) echo "NONEMPTY1\n"; # not reached, bug if ($rec1->bar[0] . "") echo "NONEMPTY2\n"; # correct if ($rec2->bar[0]) echo "NONEMPTY3\n"; # correct Expected result: ---------------- NONEMPTY1 NONEMPTY2 NONEMPTY3 Actual result: -------------- NONEMPTY2 NONEMPTY3 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61335&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61335&r=mysqlcfg
