note 59932 added to function.dom-domdocument-getelementbyid

If you're trying to use getElementById with a xml file validated on a xsd file you must first use the schemaValidate function or getElementById will return null Example: $dom = new DomDocument(); $dom->load("users.xml"); $dom->schemaValidate("users.xsd"); $curruser = $dom->getElementById($user->name); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocument-getelementbyid.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59932 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59932&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59932&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59932&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59932&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59932&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59932&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59932&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59932&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
