note 56442 added to ref.simplexml

it's important to note that PHP seems to disregard to first "all encompassing" tag... for example: $xmlstr="<order> <billing_name>Matt</billing_name> <billing_address>123 Main St.</billing_address> </order>"; the 'billing_name' would be accessed by: $xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstr); $billing_name = $xml->billing_name; NOT: $xml = simplexml_load_string($xml); $billing_name = $xml->order->billing_name; Maybe I'm just an idiot, but this took me a few hours to figure out.. (Partly due to the similiarity between the words "movie" and "movies" in the Movie example at the top of the page) haha hope this helps save someone some time! :) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56442 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56442&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56442&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56442&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56442&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56442&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56442&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56442&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
