Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
XPath context is per SimpleXMLElement object, so although the register
in nested element looks like it would work, that too uses different
objects. Thanks for the report though as it did expose a bug with the
node being used for the XPath context node though.

Description:
------------
Registering XPath namespace works only for XPath queries from root
element.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$text = '<a xmlns="http://example.org"><b><c>test</c></b></a>';
$xml = simplexml_load_string($text);
// register in root
$xml->registerXPathNamespace("x", "http://example.org");
print_r($xml->b->xpath("x:c"));
// register in nested element
$xml->b->registerXPathNamespace("x", "http://example.org");
print_r($xml->b->xpath("x:c"));
Expected result:
----------------
At least once:
Array
(
[0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => test
)
)
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: SimpleXMLElement::xpath(): Undefined namespace prefix
Warning: SimpleXMLElement::xpath(): Undefined namespace prefix
