#34975 [Bgs->Opn]: SimpleXML objects can't be stored in sessions.

Bug Type: SimpleXML related
Operating System: Windows XP
PHP Version: 5.0.5
New Comment:
I have checked the manual many times in the past and have done so
again. Nowhere does it mention that SimpleXML objects can't be stored
as a session variable.
I rewrote the code so that you don't have to create an xml file. Here
it is:
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['xml'] =
simplexml_load_string('<test><one>two</one></test>');
?>
Please run the code provided and restart the session on another page
(or hit refresh in your browser). Here is what you will see (the path
will obviously be different):
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Node no longer
exists in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TEMP\test1.php on line 3
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session
cookie - headers already sent by (output started at
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TEMP\test1.php:3) in
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TEMP\test1.php on line 3
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session
cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TEMP\test1.php:3) in
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TEMP\test1.php on line 3
I appreciate any help in this manner. Thank you.

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.
