So in the case of having several attributes with the same name, but one without namespace, and one/several with a namespace, getAttribute does not return the attribute without a namespace as expected, instead it selects the attributes by order, and returns the first one. The solution so this is using DomNode->getAttributeNS(null,'attribute') , but this being a complete hack. This seems as a unnessary bug, and compared to other DOM implements like python, it seems more normal to return the attribute without a namespace when using getAttribute, rather than the first one. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $xml = '<node xmlns:pre="http://foo.com/tr/pre" pre:type="bar" type="foo" ><sub /></node>'; $dom = new DomDocument(); $dom->loadXML($xml); echo $dom->firstChild->getAttribute('type'); ?> Expected result: ---------------- the output should be "foo" Actual result: -------------- the output is "bar" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38474&edit=1
