The attached (untested) patch should register SimpleXMLElement as a Countable if SPL is also being built. It does not cover the case where someone builds SPL as a shared extension (does anyone do that?). Test script: --------------- <?php $x = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0"?><a><b/><c/></a>'); var_dump(count($x), $x instanceof Countable); Expected result: ---------------- int(2) bool(true) Actual result: -------------- int(2) bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65215&edit=1
