Hello All, I have an XML document that has elements as such:

What's the entire XML document? You need a xmlns declaration as Query is a namespace.

I have run into documents that use a namespace without properly defining it. Seems fairly common in data sets from academic sources (IE vertebrate museum records). Usually there is only one namespace, and you can use a regular expression to just remove it before importing the document. IE - $buffer = preg_replace('/Query:/','',$input); then import the $buffer
