Bug #11903 Updated: xpath_eval does not work with default namespace.

ID: 11903 Updated by: mfischer Reported By: peter@wingercom.net Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: DOM XML related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.3 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: This is because title actually *IS* in the namespace. This is how XML and namespace works. I suggest further reading on http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#function-local-name In you're case I'ld use "//*[local-name() = 'title']" instead of "//title" (thanks to Daniel Veillard pointing this out) Bogus (not a PHP bug). PS: thnx anyway, found a segfault in xpath_eval_expression :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-06 04:44:06] peter@wingercom.net I forgot again.... libxml version: 2.3.10 iconv version: 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-05 08:51:13] peter@wingercom.net I forgot. This namespace decleration will also work with xpath_eval <html xmlns:thisworks="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-05 08:44:09] peter@wingercom.net Hi, When using default namespace in the XML (XHTML) source xpath_eval will not return any result except with the request "//*" whereby it will return the whole XML source. When making another namespace than "xmlns" everything works fine. // The xpaht_eval() will NOT work with this line $xhtml = '<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title>hummmm......</title></head><body></body></html>'; // The xpaht_eval() will work with this line $xhtml = '<html BUGxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title>hummmm......</title></head><body></body></html>'; $doc = xmldoc($xhtml); $ctx = xpath_new_context($doc); $node = xpath_eval_expression($ctx,"//title"); var_dump($node->nodeset); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=11903&edit=1
