note 93024 added to class.domxpath

If your document declares a namespace at all - even just a single default namespace (xmlns="etc"), you MUST register that namespace with XPath, and you MUST use that registered namespace in your query. For example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <document xmlns="http://www.whatever.com/"> <foo> <bar>Text</bar> </foo> </document> //foo will not work - you will not be able to pull data from this document without registering the default namespace and making up a prefix for it. If you're attempting to process arbitrary XML documents and you don't know the namespaces beforehand (as I am in my application), use a bit of regex to pull them out then add them dynamically. I think this is pretty silly. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 38.97.88.20 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.domxpath.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93024 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93024/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93024/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93024/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93024/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93024/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93024/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93024 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93024 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
