#29426 [Com]: Incomplete/inconsistent functionality
ID: 29426 Comment by: matt dot bevan at marginsoftware dot com Reported By: php at peterrobins dot co dot uk Status: Open Bug Type: SimpleXML related Operating System: Linux 2.4 PHP Version: 5.0.0 New Comment: I am also in the position where I need to be able to create and insert a SimpleXMLElement before or after an arbitrary SimpleXMLElement, then remove the previous instance. This is to move XML elements from one location in an XML file into another. I'll likely be switching to/from a DOM object to accomplish this, however.

Or the ability to add nodes should be added to simplexml.

It does not appear possible to delete just 1 node unset($xml-movie[0]-rating[1]); Because objs are now refs not copies, can do this $rat = $xml-movie[0]-rating[0]; $rat['name'] = 'judge'; but not this $rat = 'new content'; nor this $rat-child[0] = 'new rating'; and if I try and do $rat-child = 'new rating'; I get 'Attempt to assign property of non-object' -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29426edit=1
