Either the docs are outdated or there is some bug here. (is casting to string really necessary?) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-07 12:17:16] rbro at hotmail dot com I just tried running my original example from my initial bug report, but I got the same results. I got the "They are not equal." line. I'm running on php5-200403071630. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-07 10:15:14] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-27 13:51:55] rbro at hotmail dot com Thanks for your reply, but if that's the intended behavior (that echo'ing the attribute prints it out as a string, but trying to compare it doesn't work without a cast to a string), then the documentation then needs to be updated. The 'Using attributes' example on http://docs.php.net/en/ref.simplexml.html says that what I'm trying to do should work. That example then is invalid too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-27 13:34:25] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php As Derick said, the explicit conversion is necessary because php tries to convert the second argument to the first argument\'s type which is an object. Generally it could work when you switch the order of arguments but the explicit conversion makes it visible what you do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-27 09:04:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you cast to a string, it works: if ((string) $sxe['a'] == '123') I do think that should be necessary though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
