Bug #76330 [Opn->Nab]: XPath only works in a linux server not local windows IIS

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76330&edit=1 ID: 76330 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: kj-8791 at hotmail dot com Summary: XPath only works in a linux server not local windows IIS -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: *XML functions Operating System: windows 10 enterprise PHP Version: 7.2.5 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: > added in index.php > libxml_use_internal_errors(true); shows forbidden so i added > ini_set('user_agent','Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0)'); and it works So this is not XPath related; actually, it is not even a bug in PHP. You always have to properly check the return values for failures. > useragent should be added as default in php.ini No. Instead you may think about *why* the site responds with 403 Forbidden, if no User-Agent is sent. Hint: likely the site owners don't want their site to be scraped by arbitrary bots.
