Issue: https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/7740 Comment Author: damianwadley Note that $bar is not actually an array but a SimpleXMLElement object that, when dumped, makes it look like it could contain multiple pieces of data. ->bar will always behave as a single instance (except in dumps) and ->bar[0] will always access the first "bar" element, and both are regardless of whether there is only one value or there are multiple for that name. https://3v4l.org/n8sJH Is there a particular issue in code you're encountering because of this, or is it just that the output is surprising (and arguably inaccurate)?
