From: stevendamico at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.2.12 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: SimpleXML ::atrributes() feature does not recognize hyphenated attributes
Description: ------------ Using SimpleXML and SimpleXML_load_file to load an external XML file. The ::attributes feature does not recognize hyphens in attribute features, no documentation on how to resolve feature and the solution for dealing with hyphens in nodes (by putting it in curly braces and quotes {''}) does not solve the problem. This is my first time submitting a bug and I'm an amateur, but there is no documentation for a solution. Not sure if I selected the proper bug category. Sorry for any mistakes. Reproduce code: --------------- --- >From manual page: simplexmlelement.attributes#Description --- portion of xml file (parent nodes left out for simplicity): <recorded-vote><legislator name-id="A000014" sort-field="Abercrombie" unaccented-name="Abercrombie" party="D" state="HI" role="legislator">Abercrombie</legislator><vote>Aye</vote></recorded-vote> ex. 1: echo {'recorded-vote'}[0]->legislator->attributes()->{'name-id'}; ex. 2: print_r ({'recorded-vote'}[0]->legislator->attributes()); Expected result: ---------------- ex. 1 A000014 ex. 2 SimpleXMLElement Object ( [...@attributes] => Array ( [name-id] => A000014 [sort-field] => Abercrombie [unaccented-name] => Abercrombie [party] => D [state] => HI [role] => legislator ) ) Actual result: -------------- ex. 1 0 To clarify, all that outputs is the digit zero. ex. 2 SimpleXMLElement Object ( [...@attributes] => Array ( [party] => D [state] => HI [role] => legislator ) ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50759&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50759&r=mysqlcfg
