note 76311 added to function.dom-domxpath-query

Please note that what clochix says is valid for *any* document which has a default namespace (as it is the case for XHTML). This document : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <root xmlns="http://www.exemple.org/namespace"> <element id="1"> ... </element> <element id="2"> ... </element> </element> must be accessed this way : $document = new DOMDocument(); $document->load('document.xml'); $xpath = new DOMXPath($document); $xpath->registerNameSpace('fakeprefix', 'http://www.exemple.org/namespace'); $elements = $xpath->query('//fakeprefix:element'); Of course, there is no prefix in the original document, but the DOMXPath class *needs* one, whatever it is, if you use a default namespace. It *doesn't work* if you specify an empty prefix like this : $xpath->registerNameSpace('', 'http://www.exemple.org/namespace'); Hope this help to spare some time... ---- Server IP: 217.174.196.197 Probable Submitter: 90.31.33.16 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domxpath-query.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/76311 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76311/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76311/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76311/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76311/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76311/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76311/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76311 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/76311 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
