Doc #53186 [Com]: Error in the example

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53186&edit=1 ID: 53186 Comment by: frozenfire at thefrozenfire dot com Reported by: bruce at z2a dot org Summary: Error in the example Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N New Comment: I have added a patch which adds a note to each example section which makes use of the example.php include, noting where that code can be found. This should clear up any confusion to that effect. Tangentially, the SimpleXMLElement::getName() example does indeed function as expected.

Perhaps it is worth linking back to the page above from those examples which make use of that example.php file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-27 19:48:12] bruce at z2a dot org Oops... I thought the "Report A Bug" would include a back pointer to the page. It is on http://us2.php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.getName.php. I think the example is building on a previous page but it would be better if you could understand the getName example on the page where it is described. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-27 18:26:09] salathe@php.net Which page is this error on? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-27 18:22:51] bruce at z2a dot org Description: ------------ This example doesn't work. The output is supposed to be "movie" but there is no movie in the inputs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53186&edit=1
