Bug #48601 [Com]: xpath() returns FALSE for legitimate query

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48601&edit=1 ID: 48601 Comment by: johnkary at gmail dot com Reported by: theultramage at gmail dot com Summary: xpath() returns FALSE for legitimate query Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: SimpleXML related Operating System: Windows Vista PHP Version: 5.4SVN Assigned To: rrichards Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It's not clear exactly which 5.3 release this bug was actually fixed in. I believe I am still encountering this bug in 5.3.8 (on my production server) but do not encounter it with the same code in 5.3.14 (on my dev machine). This was made evident from actual PHP code I wrote using an XPath query. I have not run the core unit tests to confirm this. Just adding notes here about affected versions for those that come across this bug report in the future.

Behaves now the same like DomXPath and fixes Bug #48601 Adjusted a test to reflect that change ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-31 11:44:11] chregu@php.net Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of chregu Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&revision=315883 Log: simplexml->query returns empty array if no nodes were found and false if libxml thinks the xpath-expression was invalid.
