note 101816 added to simplexmlelement.registerxpathnamespace

Looks like you have to use registerXPathNamespace for each node when using XPath: $xml = simplexml_load_file($filename); $xml->registerXPathNamespace('test', 'http://example.com'); $shopping_element = $xml->xpath('test:shopping-list'); // Breaks with out the following line: $shopping_element->registerXPathNamespace('test', 'http://example.com'); $fruit = $shopping_element->xpath('test:fruit'); ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 92.232.71.252 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.registerxpathnamespace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/101816 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101816/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101816/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101816/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101816/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101816/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101816/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101816 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/101816 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
