SimpleXML bug View as Markdown

The following script

<?php
$root = simplexml_load_string('
<root>
  <child />
</root>
');

foreach ($root->child as $child) {
    var_dump($child);
}
?>

does not print anything while

<?php
$root = simplexml_load_string('
<root>
  <child />
  <child />
</root>
');

foreach ($root->child as $child) {
    var_dump($child);
}
?>

correctly prints

object(simplexml_element)#2 (0) {
}
object(simplexml_element)#3 (0) {
}
