Status: Bogus
Bug Type: SimpleXML related
PHP Version: 5.1.6
New Comment:
Please run the following code to see if it is a bug:
<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_string(
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<error-report>
<error-number>38797</error-number>
</error-report>');
echo $xml->error-number .'<br>';
$xml->error-number = "38798";
echo $xml->error-number;
?>
The message is:
"Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=' in /cgi-bin/testSimpleXML.php
on line 8"
If I replace "error-number" with "error_number",
the changed code works and output:
"38797
38798"
I appreciate all comments. But I hope you test, too.

Description:
------------
SimpleXml is very good but a small bug. When a node name contaiing '-',
will cause trouble.PHP Interpreter takes '-' as operator. For example,
when set a value to node named "operating-system":
$xml->operating-system = "Windows";
PHP5 interpreter will report Parse error.
