Description:
------------
Option LIBXML_NOEMPTYTAG is ignored for SimpleXMLElement::__construct() and simplexml_load_string() 

Probably, for simplexml_load_file() also.



Test script:
---------------
<?php 

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><request><packet></packet></request>', LIBXML_NOEMPTYTAG);
$xml->saveXML();


Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<request><packet></packet></request>

Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<request><packet/></request>

Hi maglor,

http://php.net/manual/en/libxml.constants.php


LIBXML_NOEMPTYTAG (integer)
Expand empty tags (e.g. <br/> to <br></br>)
Note:

This option is currently just available in the DOMDocument::save and 
DOMDocument::saveXML functions.

The $options parameter of `SimpleXMLElement::construct()`,
`simplexml_load_string()` and `simplexml_load_file()` is only
relevant for options which affect the *reading* of XML.  It is not
supposed to apply to *writing*.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
