Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
$str = $root->node;
echo "'" . $str{0} . "'<br/>\n";
is the same as
echo "'" . $str[0] . "'<br/>\n";
so the first node is fetched whos value is "data".
$str[1]'s value NULL since there's only one node.

Description:
------------
Maybe it's ok, because $root->node is not a string, but object.
But then PHP must return error when trying to do so, I think.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$xml = "<root><node>data</node></root>";
$root = simplexml_load_string($xml);
$str = $root->node;
echo "'" . $str . "'<br/>\n";
echo "'" . $str{0} . "'<br/>\n";
echo "'" . $str{1} . "'<br/>\n";
$str = strval($root->node);
echo "'" . $str . "'<br/>\n";
echo "'" . $str{0} . "'<br/>\n";
echo "'" . $str{1} . "'<br/>\n";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
'data'
'd'
'a'
'data'
'd'
'a'
Actual result:
--------------
'data'
'data'
''
'data'
'd'
'a'
