The documentation for the SimpleXMLElement class only has a link to the count method in the class synopsis. I have discoverd that this is caused by the methodname value in the xml files for the class methods. Other classes (such as ArrayObject) use the format "<classname>::<methodName>" as the methodname value. The methodname format that is used for the SimpleXMLElement methods is "<methodName>".
What's the right format to use for the methodname? I like the "<methodName>" format, because it looks better in the generated documentation (ooclass element should be used in this case). However the problem with this format is that the method name's are not linked to the method documentation in the class synopsis ( see http://php.net/manual/en/class.simplexmlelement.php ). -- Joris van de Sande
