For those who use PHP5 and the domxml module of PECL : this function doesn't return the same thing if the result is "empty". Look at this example using the code and the XML file : <?php /* ... ... code to get a xpath ... ... */ $ret = xpath_eval_expression($xPath, "/some/thing | /other/thing"); var_dump($ret); ?> If the xpath doesn't match anything : - In PHP4, this code displays bool(false) - In PHP5 (with PECL domxml module) , this code displays object(XPathObject)#25 (2) { ["type"]=> int(1) ["nodeset"]=> array(0) { } which is NOT false !!! ---- Server IP: 194.153.94.10 Probable Submitter: 82.236.237.85 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xpath-eval-expression.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/88203 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88203/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88203/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88203/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88203/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88203/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88203/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88203 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/88203 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
