Hi all,

	I have been playing with the SPL lately and today I ended up playing 
with the SimpleXMLIterator.

	The documentation on that class if fairly poor and I'm in fact 
requesting some information about it. I managed to create a 
SimpleXMLIterator passing it basic xml in the constructor but wasn't 
able to get anything from the getChildren() method and hasChildren() 
return false. The var_dump of the iterator show me the expected thing tough.

Nor does the current() or key() return anything. I'm using php5.0.1


Example:
<?php

$xml = "<test><test1>Here we are</test1><test2>There</test2></test>";

$it = new SimpleXMLIterator($xml);

var_dump($it);

while($it->hasChildren())
{
   echo "While\n";
   $child = $it->getChildren();
}

   echo "Begin\n";
   echo "Key : ".$it->key()."\n";
   echo "Current :".$it->current()."\n";
   echo "End\n";
?>

And here's what is outputted

object(SimpleXMLIterator)#1 (2) {
   ["test1"]=>
   string(11) "Here we are"
   ["test2"]=>
   string(5) "There"
}
Begin
Key :
Current :
End

I tried with some other combination of possible xml but nothing worked 
so far. Any things I'm doing wrong ?
