note 81368 added to ref.simplexml

mtudor: It is not worth including in the documentation, as it works exactly as expected. Using Vegar's XML example (slightly modified): <?php $xml ="<doc> <multi attr1='one' attr2='two' attr3='three'>One</multi> <multi>Two</multi> </doc>"; $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml); echo count($xml->multi); //returns 2 echo count($xml->multi->attributes()); //returns 3 echo count($xml->multi[0]->attributes()); //returns 3 echo count($xml->multi[1]->attributes()); //returns 0 ?> So the only part that may throw people off is the fact that if an array key is not given, it will assume the first element. This should however be obvious since you work from this assumption whenever referring to a single element: <?php $xml ="<doc> <single> <tag>A Tag</tag> </single> </doc>"; $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml); echo $xml->single[0]->tag[0]; //returns 'A Tag' echo $xml->single->tag; //returns 'A Tag' ?> ---- Server IP: 117.104.160.194 Probable Submitter: 58.168.152.148 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81368 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81368/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81368/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81368/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81368/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81368/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81368/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81368 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81368 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
