Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/simplexmlelement.count
---

The count example script operates on the person element, It should be operating on the child element. 

presently it is 

$person->count()

it should be 

$person->child->count()

The example is correct; the documentation states:

| This method counts the number of children of an element.
