Hello,
just a note for people like me who encounter the problems :
<?php
foreach($xmlIterator as $x)
{
    if($x->hasChildren())
    {
        //never reach
        echo 'x : ';
        var_dump($x->current());
    }
    if($xmlIterator->hasChildren())
    {
        echo 'iterator : ';
        var_dump($x->current()); //all time null
        var_dump($xmlIterator->current());
    }
}
?>
