if ($test = simplexml_load_string($xml))

In php 5.1.0 this will return False (always). In 5.0.5 it returns True
when it succesfully parsed $xml.
I guess that this is what "lists at cyberlot dot net" realy wants.

For 5.1.0 you'd need to use isset() instead of plain if() test since we
are too far in release process to have a big changes in it. But i will
do just after 5.1.0 is out the doors. Also it is fixed in HEAD.
Anyway i tried it with 5.0.6-dev and am nearly sure it does not work in
any version yet.
Btw, a boolean if() for normal php objects is a check whether the
object has any properties. This is probably not what you want. After
the change it results in true whenever there are sub elements,
attributes or a selected node.

Note that if you change $string to:
$string = str_replace('><','> <',"<doc><login>kkl</
login><password>klk</password></doc>");
It passes.

Description:
------------
$xml object returns false, this worked in RC1 fails in RC3 and RC4
never tested RC2
xml string of <doc>test</doc> DOES pass test. Its only when you have
subchildren children that the $xml object fails to pass.
<doc><test>test</test></doc> fails
<doc>test</doc> Passes.
if(is_object($xml)) { works, and is prob the best method to use but one
would expect $xml to be "true"
Realize this might be considered a dupe of bug #31045 however bug
#34199 suggests the same issue that states this is fixed.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$string = "<doc><login>kkl</login><password>klk</password></doc>";
$xml = simplexml_load_String($string);
if($xml) {
echo "Passed test\n";
} else {
echo "Even though is object still failed false test\n";
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Expect output of Passed test
Actual result:
--------------
output of Even though is object still failed false test
