This bug has been fixed in CVS.
In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Description:
------------
Trying to do an XPath search on a SimpleXML object fails
when the XML document contains namespaces.
Expected result:
----------------
The object should automatically register any prefixes
defined using xmlns:foo="http://www.example.com" syntax
in the document and also use any namespaces added
using registerNS().
Actual result:
--------------
The following patch http://www.trachtenberg.com/patches/
simplexml_xpath_ns_patch.txt fixes both issues. (Note
that the default namespace *is not* automatically
registered, but that's a fault of the XPath spec, not
the code. So you still need to manually register it.)
