#34839 [NEW]: SimpleXMLElement too closed

From: stochnagara at hotmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.1.0RC1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: SimpleXMLElement too closed Description: ------------ The class SimpleXMLElement is wonderful and provides a great functionality. But I need to extend it and I don't have a way to determine whether a given SimpleXMLElement is an attribute, an element, a CDATA section and so on. So I suggest adding methods getName() and getType(). getName() returns element's name for elements, attribute's name for attributes and so on. getType() returns SimpleXMLElement::ELEMENT and so on. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34839&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34839&r=mysqlcfg
