Example #1 Traversing a children() pseudo-array
<?php
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement(
'<person>
<child role="son">
<child role="daughter"/>
</child>
<child role="daughter">
<child role="son">
<child role="son"/>
</child>
</child>
</person>');
foreach ($xml->children() as $second_gen) {
echo ' The person begot a ' . $second_gen['role'];
foreach ($second_gen->children() as $third_gen) {
echo ' who begot a ' . $third_gen['role'] . ';';
foreach ($third_gen->children() as $fourth_gen) {
echo ' and that ' . $third_gen['role'] .
' begot a ' . $fourth_gen['role'];
}
}
}
?>
Exemplul de mai sus va afișa:

<foo:b>Banana</foo:b>
<c>Cherry</c>
</example>';
$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
$kids = $sxe->children('foo');
var_dump(count($kids));
$kids = $sxe->children('foo', TRUE);
var_dump(count($kids));
$kids = $sxe->children('my.foo.urn');
var_dump(count($kids));
$kids = $sxe->children('my.foo.urn', TRUE);
var_dump(count($kids));
$kids = $sxe->children();
var_dump(count($kids));

SimpleXMLElement::children() returns a node object no matter if the current node has children or not. Use count() on the return value to see if there are any children. As of PHP 5.3.0, SimpleXMLElement::count() may be used instead.
