I was meaning "$child->atttibutes()", but "$childs->attributes()" by mistake, then some strange things happen: Infinite loop. Is it a bug? Test script: --------------- <?php $xml = simplexml_load_string('<root><parent><child id="1"/><child id="2"/></parent></root>'); $childs = $xml->parent->child; foreach($childs as $child){ var_dump($childs->attributes()); } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Print: object(SimpleXMLElement)#6 (1) { ["@attributes"]=> array(1) { ["id"]=> string(1) "1" } } object(SimpleXMLElement)#6 (1) { ["@attributes"]=> array(1) { ["id"]=> string(1) "1" } } Actual result: -------------- Infinite loop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64918&edit=1
