Description:
------------
The @attributes for the top-level element in a SimpleXMLElement object aren't returned as part of any iteration over the object.

Reproduced in 5.3.0alpha1 as well.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$xml = '
<data id="1">
	<key>value</name>
</data>
';
$obj = simplexml_load_string($xml);
print_r(get_object_vars($obj));


Expected result:
----------------
Array
(   
    [@attributes] => Array
        (   
            [id] => 1
        )
    [key] => value
)



Actual result:
--------------
Array
(   
    [key] => value
)

Your xml is invalid:

$ php -n t.php

Warning: simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 3: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: key line 3 and name in /home/jani/src/build/php_5_3_tst/t.php on line 8

Warning: simplexml_load_string(): <key>value</name> in /home/jani/src/build/php_5_3_tst/t.php on line 8

Warning: simplexml_load_string():                  ^ in /home/jani/src/build/php_5_3_tst/t.php on line 8


With non-invalid XML I get expected result.

Thank you for that.  Reproduce code should be as follows:
$xml = '
<data id="1">
	<key>value</key>
</data>
';
$obj = simplexml_load_string($xml);
print_r(get_object_vars($obj));

So still no bug. If you experience this even with proper XML, I guess it's your libxml that is a buggy version. (my PHP is build with libxml 2.7.2)

It appears that you're testing against 5.2.7 which I've verified doesn't exhibit this error.  This problem only appears with the 5.3.0 releases.

Both the 5.2.* releases and 5.3.* use libxml 2.6.31 on my primary test machine.  It is possible that libxml is part of the problem, but it still stands that the problem does not manifest prior to 5.3.

I have tested this with the two new PHP releases on yet another server:

I am experiencing the same problem on 5.3. The code used is the same used above.
