Re: Simplexml and xml namespaces

There isn't a single method in DOM for this - have to write code to do it. get_properties was not implemented in DOM due to too many properties and many properties recursive (DOM both ascends and descends a tree). Any debugging would be useless trying to sort through all the crap. I, like Adam, also use those methods when I need to examine a subtree. Rob Adam Maccabee Trachtenberg wrote:

I agree. var_dump() should accurately expose the structure of the simplexml object, if people want to see *everything* they should dump it explicitly (there is a method in the DOM api to do this?)

You mean other than reserializing the data back as XML? :) All kidding aside, I do use SXE's asXML() and DOM's saveXML() for debugging in these types of cases.
