SimpleXML is meant to be an easy way to access XML data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SimpleXML objects follow four basic rules:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) properties denote elements
|
||
|
|
2) numeric indices denote elements
|
||
|
|
3) non numeric indices denote attributes
|
||
|
|
4) string conversion allows to access TEXT data
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When an elements TEXT data is being accessed through a property
|
||
|
|
then the result does not include the TEXT data of subelements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If PHP is compiled with ext/SPL being compiled into the binary
|
||
|
|
then SimpleXML objects implement the interface RecursiveIterator
|
||
|
|
so that they can be iterated recursively (http://pecl.php.net/spl).

Known issues
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Due to engine problems it is currently not possible to access
|
||
|
|
a subelement by index 0: $object->property[0].

TODO
|
||
|
|
====
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the moment property access to multiple elements of the same
|
||
|
|
name returns an array of SimpleXML objetcs. This should be an
|
||
|
|
object of a new type instead so that all kinds of linkage,
|
||
|
|
assignment and deleting would work.
