This issue has already been fixed in the latest released version of PHP, which you can download at http://www.php.net/downloads.php I don't know when this was changed, but in all current supported versions it's possible to extend the class. I'm closing this to clean up old bug reports.

If there's a good reason for this, I'd like to find out. Otherwise, it would be useful if the SimpleXmlElement class could be properly extended. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46684&edit=1
