I can't answer on your first topic, but the second: That's how it works also in ext/dom (and IMHO as it's supposed to work), but the "workaround" is easy: $r2 = $z->xpath('./*');

Thank for looking and replying. I have to clarify... Actually I would expect at least the third example ------------- $z = clone $x->level1_node1[0]; $r3 = $z->xpath('/*'); print $r3[0]->getName();//prints rootnode ------------- to print level1_node1. But as well at least to me looks logical even the second to print level1_node1, because the xpath() method is acalled on the level1_node1, not the rootnode. I think that it is incorrect that the object (the xml strcuture) $z is still treated like the object $x when it comes to Xpath. In fact they are different object with different structures and the Xpath expressions must return different results (IMHO). works as you would expect it.
