It seems to be dropping any namespaces for attributes when using XPath. But the namespace is clearly registered because it can be used to access nodes, when using XPath. Reproduce code: --------------- $xml =<<<XML <xml xmlns:a="http://a"> <data a:label="I am A" label="I am Nothing">test1</data> <a:data a:label="I am a:A" label="I am a:Nothing">test2</a:data> </xml> XML; $x = simplexml_load_string($xml); $x->registerXPathNamespace("a", "http://a"); var_dump($x->xpath("/xml/data/@a:label")); echo "<br /><br />"; var_dump($x->xpath("/xml/a:data")); echo "<br /><br />"; var_dump($x->xpath("/xml/a:data/@a:label")); echo "<br /><br />"; var_dump($x->data->attributes("http://a")); Expected result: ---------------- array(1) { [0]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (1) { ["@attributes"]=> array(1) { ["label"]=> string(12) "I am A" } } } array(1) { [0]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (2) { ["@attributes"]=> array(1) { ["label"]=> string(14) "I am a:Nothing" } [0]=> string(5) "test2" } } array(1) { [0]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (1) { ["@attributes"]=> array(1) { ["label"]=> string(14) "I am a:A" } } } object(SimpleXMLElement)#4 (1) { ["@attributes"]=> array(1) { ["label"]=> string(6) "I am A" } } Actual result: -------------- array(1) { [0]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (1) { ["@attributes"]=> array(1) { ["label"]=> string(12) "I am Nothing" } } } array(1) { [0]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (2) { ["@attributes"]=> array(1) { ["label"]=> string(14) "I am a:Nothing" } [0]=> string(5) "test2" } } array(1) { [0]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (1) { ["@attributes"]=> array(1) { ["label"]=> string(14) "I am a:Nothing" } } } object(SimpleXMLElement)#4 (1) { ["@attributes"]=> array(1) { ["label"]=> string(6) "I am A" } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45553&edit=1
