Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same.
Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Description:
------------
If I extend SimpleXmlElement and add a __toString() method to it, that
method is not called when I cast my object using (string)$obj.
It is used however on implicit casts (e.g echo $sxmlObj)
Reproduce code:
---------------
class MyXml extends SimpleXMLElement
{
public function __toString()
{
return $this->asXML();
}
public function export()
{
return (string)$this;
}
}
$xml = new MyXml("<xml><some>xml</some></xml>");
echo $xml; // 1
$a = (string)$xml;
echo $a; // 2
echo $xml->export(); // 3
Expected result:
----------------
1 :
xml returned
2 :
xml returned
3:
xml returned
Actual result:
--------------
1 :
OK
2:
nothing is returned
3:
nothing is returned
