The bogus Behaviour reported in the last two comments was for me with version 5.2.x, after an upgrade to PHP 5.2.5 this was not the case any longer. I could not find any relating bug under bugs.php.net so maybe this was just a fix made.

In Response to:



Some unexpected behaviour noticed:

<?php

echo $root->parent->child->getName();

?>



"child" is expected, although "parent" is returned



My Suggestion is to use



<?php

echo $root->parent[0]->child[0]->getName();

?>



Instead. I dunno why, but this works.

$root = new SimplexmlElement("<root><parent><child/></parent></root>");

foreach($root->parent->children() as $child){

    print "</br>".$child->getName();

}



//This will return the child though
