It seems to be natural to expect the similar kind of behavior from them in case when no attribute by given parameters is found. Which is not the case - first one returns NULL, the rest - string(0) "". Test script: --------------- <?php $reader = new XmlReader(); $reader->xml('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><a y="" z="1"></a>'); $reader->read(); var_dump($reader->getAttribute('x')); var_dump($reader->getAttributeNs('x', 'http://example.com')); var_dump($reader->getAttributeNo(2)); ?> Expected result: ---------------- NULL NULL NULL Actual result: -------------- NULL string(0) "" string(0) "" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55285&edit=1
