That's a worse thing because that is really magic. So when you traverse a xml document you have no idea what you will get. And also how do i get the text content of an element then? I've posted my ideas alread. Allow (string)$obj casting or provide a second object handler that only works for printing with the __toString and we are done. (The latter is my favorite of course). -- Best regards, Marcus mailto:helly@php.net
