#35028 [NEW]: XML object fails FALSE test

From: lists at cyberlot dot net Operating system: Fedore Core 3 PHP version: 5.1.0RC4 PHP Bug Type: SimpleXML related Bug description: XML object fails FALSE test Description: ------------ $xml object returns false, this worked in RC1 fails in RC3 and RC4 never tested RC2 xml string of <doc>test</doc> DOES pass test. Its only when you have subchildren children that the $xml object fails to pass. <doc><test>test</test></doc> fails <doc>test</doc> Passes. if(is_object($xml)) { works, and is prob the best method to use but one would expect $xml to be "true" Realize this might be considered a dupe of bug #31045 however bug #34199 suggests the same issue that states this is fixed. Reproduce code: --------------- <? $string = "<doc><login>kkl</login><password>klk</password></doc>"; $xml = simplexml_load_String($string); if($xml) { echo "Passed test\n"; } else { echo "Even though is object still failed false test\n"; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Expect output of Passed test Actual result: -------------- output of Even though is object still failed false test -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35028&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35028&r=mysqlcfg
