note 70519 added to ref.simplexml

As of PHP 5.1.4, trying to iterate on a non-existent node will actually create that node. <? $xml = simplexml_load_string('<root></root>'); foreach($xml->b as $dummy); echo $xml->asXML(); ?> Gives : <?xml version="1.0"?> <root><b/></root> You might think it is a bug, but PHP developers seam to consider it as a feature : http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39164 ---- Server IP: 217.174.203.10 Probable Submitter: 81.56.151.174 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/70519 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70519/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70519/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70519/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70519/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70519/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70519/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70519 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/70519 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
