PHP version:      5CVS-2004-12-09 (dev)
PHP Bug Type:     SimpleXML related
Bug description:  Testing return value of simplexml_load_string

Description:
------------
The manual states that simplexml_load_string (and simplexml_load_file)
returns false on any errors.  In the following example, I am loading a
valid xml stream, but the simplexml object returned seems to equal false
when it shouldn't.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$doc = simplexml_load_string('<xml></xml>');

if ($doc == false)
{
	echo 'equals false';
}
else
{
	echo 'does not equal false';
}
?>


Expected result:
----------------
does not equal false

Actual result:
--------------
equals false
