assigned to its objects. Implementation notes for overloaded object modules: - If you return a zval which is not otherwise referenced by the extension or the engine's symbol table, its reference count should be 0. - If you receive a value zval in write_property/write_dimension, you may only modify it if its reference count is 1. Otherwise, you must create a copy of that zval before making any changes. You should NOT modify the reference count of the value passed to you. Have fun! |

SimpleXML is meant to be an easy way to access XML data. SimpleXML objects follow four basic rules: 1) properties denote element iterators 2) numeric indices denote elements 3) non numeric indices denote attributes 4) string conversion allows to access TEXT data When iterating properties then the extension always iterates over all nodes with that element name. Thus method children() must be called to iterate over subnodes. But also doing the following: foreach ($obj->node_name as $elem) { // do something with $elem } always results in iteration of 'node_name' elements. So no further check is needed to distinguish the number of nodes of that type. When an elements TEXT data is being accessed through a property then the result does not include the TEXT data of subelements. 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 objects. This should be an object of a new type instead so that all kinds of linkage, assignment and deleting would work.
