Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-14 14:30:33] alesegala at users dot sourceforge dot net Description: ------------ I parsed an XML file with SimpleXML (I used simplexml_load_file()) and I stored it into $xml. You can view the object (printed using var_dump()) here: http://phpfi.com/74016 I needed to copy the array "album" (only that array) into $album, so I did $album = $xml->album; . At this point $album didn't contain all the array, but only the first element: object(SimpleXMLElement)#3 (4) { ["id"]=> string(1) "2" ["parent_id"]=> string(1) "3" ["name"]=> string(13) "Test subalbum" ["description"]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#5 (0) { } } I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2, Apache 2.0.53, PHP 5.0.4, SimpleXML 1.139.2.4 (I took the dll from the archive pecl-5.0.4). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34127&edit=1
