#29426 [Com]: Incomplete/inconsistent functionality

ID: 29426 Comment by: cyberlot at cyberlot dot net Reported By: php at peterrobins dot co dot uk Status: Open Bug Type: SimpleXML related Operating System: Linux 2.4 PHP Version: 5.0.0 New Comment: Confirming this bug exists, Have the same problem, I need to add to a simplexml object on the fly and can't Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-28 13:22:59] php at peterrobins dot co dot uk Description: ------------ According to the manual page, you can add a node with SimpleXML, but this does not seem to work, either as $xml->movie[0]->characters[0]->character[0]->age = '21'; nor as $xml->movie[0]->rating[2] = 'not bad'; Deletion works on attributes unset($xml->movie[0]->rating[1]['type']); but at node level, deletes all unset($xml->movie[0]->rating); This is inconsistent with reading where $xml->movie[0]->rating fetches the first node only. unset($xml->movie->rating); deletes all ratings for the 1st movie only. It does not appear possible to delete just 1 node unset($xml->movie[0]->rating[1]); Because objs are now refs not copies, can do this $rat = $xml->movie[0]->rating[0]; $rat['name'] = 'judge'; but not this $rat = 'new content'; nor this $rat->child[0] = 'new rating'; and if I try and do $rat->child = 'new rating'; I get 'Attempt to assign property of non-object' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29426&edit=1
