Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-25 02:10:58] maratd at gmail dot com Description: ------------ SimpleXML objects can't be stored in sessions and in turn, objects which contain SimpleXML objects also can't be stored. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['xml'] = simplexml_load_file(YOUR_XML_FILE); ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expect the simplexml object to be loaded as a session variable, to work, and to persist while the session is active. Actual result: -------------- If you first run the code above in a browser on a valid xml file, nothing happens and it looks like it works ... but if you hit refresh or go to a page which re-starts the session, you will see this: Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Node no longer exists in index.php on line 3 The above warning line will repeat over and over for a while ... your simplexml object also won't work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34975&edit=1
