note 87083 added to book.simplexml

Storing SimpleXMLElement values in $_SESSION does not work. Saving the results as an object or individual elements of the object will result in the dreaded "Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Node no longer exists" error. For example, this does not work: $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($page); $country = $xml->Response->Placemark->AddressDetails->Country->CountryNameCode; $_SESSION['country'] = $country; This will work: $_SESSION['country'] = (string) $country; ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 68.2.42.113 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/87083 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87083/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87083/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87083/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87083/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87083/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87083/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87083 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/87083 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
