How to add new functions to SimpleXML extention View as Markdown

Funny, i writing a response to adam's message while this got to the
mailing list. Take a look at my response to adam, as it covers this
patch as well.

Hi!

I'm just playing with simplexml and wonder if two new functions of the
simplexml_element object would be usefull: getName() and getParent(). I'm
interesting in adding them to the extention, if possible. What should I do
for this? (I also think that it may be in FAQ, but I did not find that info
with my search skills).
Basically, this is my first experiment with PHP Extensions. I may be wrong
with my code, but tests pass is ok

Code for getName function:
/* {{{ getName()
*/
SXE_METHOD(getName)
{
char *name;
xmlNodePtr node; // current node
php_sxe_object *sxe = php_sxe_fetch_object(getThis() TSRMLS_CC);
GET_NODE(sxe, node);
if (node && (name = (char )(node->name))) {
RETURN_STRING(name, 1);
}
RETURN_EMPTY_STRING();
}
/ }}} */

/* {{{ getParent()
*/
SXE_METHOD(getParent)
{
xmlNodePtr node; // current node
xmlNodePtr pNode; // node->parent
php_sxe_object sxe = php_sxe_fetch_object(getThis() TSRMLS_CC);
GET_NODE(sxe, node);
if (node && (pNode = node->parent)) {
_node_as_zval(sxe, pNode, return_value TSRMLS_CC);
return;
}
RETURN_NULL();
}
/ }}} */

Hello Alexander,

generally a good idea but we are in feature freeze mode for PHP 5.0.x which
is our current head. That means you have to suspend your idea until HEAD and
PHP_5_0 are different branches. This will most likely happen during the next
two months. To not forget your idea you can open a bug report and insert
your idea with category 'Feature/Change request'.
