The XML sheet is valid. I have tried this on two systems now, both with the same problem. Colleagues cannot find anything wrong either. Example code is below: CODE: $reader = new XMLReader(); $url = 'http://xml.com/info.php'; // not a real URL $reader->open($url); $i = 0; $j = 0; while ($reader->read()) { if ($reader->nodeType == XMLReader::ELEMENT) { $attr[$i] = $reader->getAttribute("name"); // does not store anything $attr .= $reader->getAttribute("name"); // stores perfectly i++; } if ($reader->nodeType == XMLReader::TEXT) { $val[$j] = $reader->value; // performs the same as above $val .= $reader->value; $j++; } } Test script: --------------- $reader = new XMLReader(); $url = 'http://xml.com/info.php'; // insert a real URL to test $reader->open($url); $i = 0; while ($reader->read()) { if ($reader->nodeType == XMLReader::TEXT) { $val[$i] = $reader->value; // does not work //$val .= $reader->value; // for demonstration only, works properly $i++; } } print_r($val); Expected result: ---------------- When using a valid URL and XML sheet, "print_r" should print an array of all values stored. Actual result: -------------- Instead, the entire array is empty. As soon as you use .= instead of storing in an array, everything is printed fine simply using "echo". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51837&edit=1
