SimpleXML's asXML() method always returns the entire document regardless of the node. I believe (Sterling?) we decided the correct behavior here is to only return the XML data for the current node and its children.
A patch to fix the behavior is available here: http://www.trachtenberg.com/patches/simplexml_asXML_patch.txt Note that with this patch, calling asXML() on an attribute will return just the attribute and its value, not the element where the attribute is located. For example: foo="bar" instead of <element foo="bar"/>. I think this makes sense, but it's probably easy to change. -adam -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] author of o'reilly's php cookbook avoid the holiday rush, buy your copy today! -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
