Description:
------------
PHP Version: PHP 5.2.0-8+etch11 (CLI) from php5-cli_5.2.0-8+etch10_i386.deb
Linux 2.6.18-5-686 #1 SMP Sun Aug 12 21:57:02 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
Simplexml support => enabled
Revision => $Revision: 1.151.2.22.2.15 $
Schema support => enabled
libexpat1_1.95.8-3.4_i386.deb

Description of problem:
For the second xml product item from the sample XML there is no order_id-attribute in the resulting object, while both first an last items have it.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$xmlstr=<<<EOXML
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>
<products>
    <product order_id="0001"></product>
    <product order_id="0002">PHP book</product>
    <product order_id="0003">
        <name>PHP book</name>
    </product>
</products>
EOXML;


$xml=new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
print_r($xml);
?>


Expected result:
----------------
@attributes array for second item as well

Actual result:
--------------
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
    [product] => Array
        (
            [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
                (
                    [@attributes] => Array
                        (
                            [order_id] => 0001
                        )

                )

            [1] => PHP book
            [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object
                (
                    [@attributes] => Array
                        (
                            [order_id] => 0003
                        )

                    [name] => PHP book
                )

        )

)

The attribute can be accessed, however toString really doesn't show it.

print_r($xml->product[1]);

SimpleXMLElement Object
(
    [@attributes] => Array
        (
            [order_id] => 0002
        )

    [0] => PHP book
)

The attributes are there, you're just misusing simplexml:

Try this instead:

foreach ($xml->product as $foo)
    var_dump($foo);
