Take the following example: <?php namespace blah; use DomDocument as test; class DOMDocument { } $dom = new DOMDocument; // $dom->loadXML('<books><book><title>blah</title></book></books>'); $s = simplexml_import_dom($dom); echo $s->book[0]->title; // blah ?> Besides this being a *big* WTF factor (why is my internal class suddendly doing something else?) simplexml will horrible fail in this case.
