Re: unexpected behaviour in SimpleXML (php 5.2.2)

Hi, I'm not an expert, but in your example --------

$str = '<rootnode><subnode></subnode></rootnode>'; $x = new SimpleXMLElement($str); if($x->subnode->children())

    print 'yes';
    else
        print 'no';

--------- will print 'no';

ok no children If the

$str='<rootnode><subnode><newnode></newnode></subnode></rootnode>'; it will print yes.

ok has one child: <newnode> But the same will happen if the subnode has an attribute like:

$str = '<rootnode><subnode id="2"></subnode></rootnode>';

I think is correct, in fact (if I'm right) an attribute is a child. Following DOM the tree is: rootnode

    |

subnode

    |

id Here an example explaining that http://www.w3schools.com/dom/nodetree.gif Please someone else to confirm. See you
