I've recently upgraded to PHP 5.1.4 from 5.1.2 and noticed that in 5.1.3
there were changes made to SimpleXML. Now, when I touch an element
which didn't used to exist, instead of acting like it didn't exist, it
creates it! That's horrible!
Well, this used to work:
<?php
$xmlstr = "<test><item>1</item></test>";
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstr);
print_r($xml);
foreach ($xml->nonexist as $nonexist) {
// do nothing
}
print_r($xml);
?>
But now, the output of the print_r is different when I do it the second
time because the foreach statement created nodes:
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[item] => 1
)
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[item] => 1
[nonexist] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
)
)
I think that's a bug and not a feature. Why was this changed?
