note 40738 added to ref.simplexml

I had a problem detecting the existance of a node, in SimpleXML. Meaning, if exists, even if empty. I solved this stupid problem by using this function: function node_exist($objSXml) { $objTemp = (object) $objSXml; return ($objTemp->scalar != null); } It would be nice to have something more logical, as SimpleXML function. Or, when you cast to (bool), to evaluate to node existance. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40738 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40738&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40738&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
