#42325 [Bgs->Opn]: xmlns parsing issues

ID: 42325 User updated by: cpriest at warpmail dot net Reported By: cpriest at warpmail dot net -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: SimpleXML related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.2.4RC2 New Comment: Okay, this is a little frustrating here, I don't have infinite amount of time to get a bug report through to you. I am trying to use the DEFAULT NAMESPACE. I couldn't use registerXPathNamespace() if I wanted to, there is no prefix or namespace to declare to use it with. PLEASE READ THE REPORT. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-17 19:52:49] rrichards@php.net This is not a help desk. Thats how XPath and default namespaces work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-17 16:30:49] cpriest at warpmail dot net Why is this bogus? Does anyone actually even read these reports? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-17 14:45:18] rrichards@php.net 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-17 14:35:16] cpriest at warpmail dot net I'm not sure I understand why I would have to call registerXPathNamespace() to use a default namespace? I thought one of the reasons to use SimpleXML was to parse XML documents. If I make the one default namespace (xmlns="http://zzz.com/webservices") a non-default such as xmlns:test=, then it properly queries the /result value. To do what you're suggestion I would have to parse the XML document myself looking for the namespace I would want to query against. The code below also works if you simply remove the xmlns="" attribute. Are you sure that I'm supposed to be using registerXPathNamespace() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-17 07:01:04] chregu@php.net You have to register default namespaces with http://ch2.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-element- registerXPathNamespace.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
