Description:
------------
Hi,

I'm new to using the PHP DOM interface, so I apologize
if this "bug" is my misunderstanding of the specs, but
I haven't seen any mention of this anywhere yet.  I'm
using the get_elements_by_tagname

Reproduce code:
---------------
$dom = domxml_open_file("XMLBugTest.xml");
$temp = $dom->get_elements_by_tagname("x");
$y_nodes = $temp[0]->get_elements_by_tagname("y");

// Access the first node
$current_node = $y_nodes[0];

// Initialize the node counter
$nodecount = 0;

// Process each node in the collection
while($current_node)
{
	echo "<br>" . $current_node->node_type() . " -- " . $current_node->node_name() . " -- " . $current_node->get_content();
	
	// Count this node
	$nodecount++;
		
	// Get the next node in the collection
	$current_node = $current_node->next_sibling();
}

// Report the total node count
echo "<br>Number of processed nodes:  " . $nodecount;

Expected result:
----------------
1 -- y -- Item 1 
1 -- y -- Item 2 
1 -- y -- Item 3 
1 -- y -- Item 4 
Number of processed nodes: 4

Actual result:
--------------
1 -- y -- Item 1 
3 -- #text -- 
1 -- y -- Item 2 
3 -- #text -- 
1 -- y -- Item 3 
3 -- #text -- 
1 -- y -- Item 4 
3 -- #text -- 
Number of processed nodes: 8

Hi,

Sorry, I forgot to include the XML file which I was
using to generate the output.  Here it is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<x>
	<y>
		Item 1
	</y>
	<y>
		Item 2
	</y>
	<y>
		Item 3
	</y>
	<y>
		Item 4
	</y>
</x>

next_sibling() takes the next sibling node of the <y> 
element, which is a text node... It has nothing to do 
with get_elements_by_tagname.

get_elements_by_tagname returns an array, you have to 
loop through this, if you only want all the <y> elements
