note 52682 added to ref.simplexml

outping a SimpleXML object is deceptive For example <doc channel="chat"><mess>Hello</mess></doc> print_r returns SimpleXMLElement Object ( [mess] => Hello ) One might assume you are "losing" the attribute of doc BUT echo $object['channel'] Does return the value of chat No xpath /doc/@channel mess needed to access it, Its there you just can't "see" it until you access it directly Everything is there, sometimes you just have to hunt for it. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52682 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52682&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52682&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52682&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52682&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52682&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52682&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
