php SimpleXML check if a child exists


php simplexml

It might be better to wrap this in an isset()

if(isset($A->b->c)) { // c exists

That way if $A or $A->b don't exist... it doesn't blow up.

php simplexml

SimpleXML always return Object. If there is no child, empty object is returned.

if( !empty($a->b)){  var_dump($a->b);}

php simplexml

I solved it by using the children() function and doing a count() on it, ignoring an PHP error if there are no children by putting an @ before the count-call. This is stupid, but it works:

$identification = $xml->identification;if (@count($identification->children()) == 0)  $identification = $xml->Identification;

I hate this...
