Summary: SimpleXML improperly parses Mixed Content Elements
-Status: Open
+Status: Closed
Type: Bug
Package: SimpleXML related
Operating System: Linux

New Comment:
The issue turned out to be that I was deconstructing it with php's
get_object_vars() function. This works 90% of the time but chokes in this
instance because of how SimpleXML holds the data. So, it's not the fault of
SimpleXML and manually traversing the object will do the trick.

As described in the XML Specs section 3.2.2 titled "Mixed Content"
Spec: www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/
w3.org is down at the time of posting this comment. Hopefully it's back up soon.

Description:
------------
The following is parsed incorrectly by SimpleXML (but is actually somehow valid
XML):
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<Response>
<CustomsID>010912-1
<IsApproved>NO</IsApproved>
<ErrorMsg>Electronic refunds...</ErrorMsg>
</CustomsID>
</Response>
Simple XML results in:
SimpleXMLElement Object ( [CustomsID] => Array ( [0] => 010912-1 [1] =>
010912-2
) )
All child elements of <CustomsID> get dropped.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<Response>
<CustomsID>010912-1
<IsApproved>NO</IsApproved>
<ErrorMsg>Electronic refunds...</ErrorMsg>
</CustomsID>
<CustomsID>010912-2
<IsApproved>NO</IsApproved>
<ErrorMsg>Electronic refunds...</ErrorMsg>
</CustomsID>
</Response>';
$result = simplexml_load_string($xml);
//$result = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
echo "Resulting object: ".print_r($result,true);
Expected result:
----------------
// Something Like:
Resulting object: SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[CustomsID] => Array
(
[0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[@attributes] => Array
(
[CustomsID] => 010912-1
)
[IsApproved] => NO
[ErrorMsg] => Electronic refunds...
)
[1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[@attributes] => Array
(
[CustomsID] => 010912-2
)
[IsApproved] => NO
[ErrorMsg] => Electronic refunds...
)
)
)
// OR Like:
Resulting object: SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[CustomsID] => Array
(
[0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[CustomsID] => 010912-1
[IsApproved] => NO
[ErrorMsg] => Electronic refunds...
)
[1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[CustomsID] => 010912-2
[IsApproved] => NO
[ErrorMsg] => Electronic refunds...
)
)
)
Actual result:
--------------
Resulting object: SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[CustomsID] => Array
(
[0] => 010912-1
[1] => 010912-2
)
)
