Ah, I see what you're getting at now. Thanks. It appears to be an issue with
the
get_properties and get_debug_info handlers for SimpleXMLElement.
This has been reported and closed as a duplicate before, but I think that was
mistaken, as we don't have an open bug for this at present that I can find.

another test:
$xml = <<<'EOX'
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data>
<datum file-key="8708124062829849862">corn</datum>
</data>
EOX;
$doc = simplexml_load_string($xml);
echo $doc->asXML();
echo print_r($doc);
This is not a problem with loading for me - I am building my SimpleXML object
dynamically.
The output from asXML() is correct.
The output from print_r() is not.
The output using attributes() (in a more complex example) is not correct,
although this simple test does work.
I am experiencing this on various versions of PHP 5.3.X on Windows Vista and
Ubuntu 11.10.

I can't reproduce this:
<?php
$xml = <<<'EOX'
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<parent>
<child attr="foo">text content</child>
</parent>
EOX;
$doc = simplexml_load_string($xml);
printf("Text content: %s; attribute: %s\n", $doc->child, $doc->child['attr']);
?>
Outputs "Text content: text content; attribute: foo", as I'd expect. Are you
able to provide a reproduction script?
The SO discussion appears to be about JSON encoding only; given that
SimpleXMLElement doesn't support serialisation, I'd suggest that the same would
apply to JSON encoding.

Description:
------------
When loading XML into SimpleXML, tags which have both attributes and text will
have their attributes dropped.
For example, loading this into SimpleXML:
<sometag attribute="value">Here is some text</sometag>
Will cause 'attribute="value"' to be lost. If there is no text w/in a tag, but
attributes, the attributes and their values are preserved.
I'm not the only PHP developer to notice this bug; please see:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8563073/disappearing-attributes-in-php-simplexml-object
I didn't see this bug reported on php.net, however.
Test script:
---------------
See above.
Expected result:
----------------
Tags with both attributes and text should not have their attributes dropped.
