SimpleXML infinite loop when getName() is called within foreach #12192
Description
Description
The following code:
<?php
$xml = "<root><a/><a/></root>";
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xml);
$a = $xml->a;
foreach ($a as $test) {
var_dump($a->key());
var_dump($a->getName());
}Resulted in this output:
an infinite loop
But I expected this output instead:
string(1) "a"
string(1) "a"
This happens because getName() resets the iterator to the start. It should be fixed by restoring the iterator after fetching the name...
