#31846 [Opn->Bgs]: simplexml_load_string doesn't get root node

ID: 31846 Updated by: chregu@php.net Reported By: andrew at shh dot fi -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: SimpleXML related Operating System: win32 PHP Version: 5.0.3 New Comment: This is correct. print_r shows you the children nodes of the choosen node. in your code, $simple *is* the root node. I don't see anything wrong. There's no such thing as SimpleXMLDocument Object in SimpleXML. And yes, there is no way of getting the name of the root tag. Use DOM if you need that.
