#50362 [Opn->Bgs]: documentation bug DOMAttr DOMNode

ID: 50362 Updated by: seld@php.net Reported By: tlaguz at wp dot pl -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Vista x64 PHP Version: 5.2.11 New Comment: Thank you for reporting but in this case the documentation is correct, DOMAttr extends from DOMNode. In your case, item() returned a DOMAttr, but in other cases it might return another class (there are many) that extends from DOMNode, therefore changing the return value to DOMAttr wouldn't make sense.
