#28539 [NEW]: A problem with namespaces in SimpleXML

From: j dot uribe at globalforma dot com Operating system: XP PHP version: 5.0.0RC2 PHP Bug Type: SimpleXML related Bug description: A problem with namespaces in SimpleXML Description: ------------ Hi! -When i try access to a tag with namespaces like <namespace:tag>Content</namespace:tag> i can't do it, if i make a print_r($xml) i can see that tag, but i can not access to it by $xml->namespace:tag (this is an error) or $xml->tag -The only way to solve this is make $m=get_object_vars($xml) so i receive a array with all the elements so i can access to it, but in the case that namespace belongs to an attribute like <element namespace:attrib="something"></element> this is not possible and i can not access to it. Thx. Reproduce code: --------------- $string="<xml> <parent element:attrib> <element:tag>content</element> </parent> </xml>"; $xml=simplexml_load_string($string)); print_r($xml->parent);<-this works fine; print_r($xml->parent->element); echo "$xml->parent->elementecho "$xml->attrib";";<-these does not produce any output. Expected result: ---------------- I expected to see the content of the <element:tag> but i can not see anything so i can not see the content of the element attrib. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28539&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28539&r=float
