From: freddie at witherden dot org Operating system: OS X PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: SimpleXML related Bug description: Inconsistent behaviour when using unset on SimpleXMLElements
Description: ------------ Calling unset on a SimpleXMLElement is inconsistent. Assuming $xml is a SimpleXMLElement and test is an 'array'. unset($xml->test); works, yet unset($xml->test[0]); (or any number does not). Elements returned from xpath queries can also not be unset. unset should work on all SimpleXMLElements, irrespective of where in a document they reside/how they were acquired. Failing this behaviour it would seem logical to generate a warning in the instance where one tries to unset an element which can not be unset. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44066&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44066&r=mysqlcfg
