From:
Operating system: Linux
PHP version: Irrelevant
Package: SimpleXML related
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Casting SimpleXMLElement('0') to boolean results in true
Description:
------------
I understand the bug I am reporting is described in the manual, which is
why I am reporting it as a feature request. When casting SimpleXMLElements
to boolean, most values comply with the way PHP casts them. There is
however one exception: the string '0' is cast to true, which is unexpected.
This is especially annoying when using XmlRpc, which uses
<boolean>0</boolean> for its values.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump((bool)new SimpleXMLElement("<w>0</w>"));
Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)
Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
