note 11780 deleted from function.xpath-eval by sobak

Note Submitter: pking at hoovers dot com ---- This is a very (very) minor point, but there is a comma missing in the function definition for xpath_eval. This being my first experience with xpath, I thought "object xpath context" was refering to a single parameter produced by a previous call to xpath_new_context(). Then I couldn't see where you would add the query (which is actually the context parameter) So the proper definition should be array xpath_eval (object xpath, context) Additionally an example would be nice. I found one from a post to phpbuilder.com: ------------------------------- http://www.phpbuilder.com/annotate/message.php3?id=1002772 ------------------------------- Message # 1002772: Date: 01/02/01 06:40 By: Luis Argerich Subject: new DOM features im 4.0.4 Just wanted to add that PHP 4.0.4 has improved DOM support including Xpath and Xpointer support: Try this: $xml='SOME XML ....'; $doc=xmldoc($xml); $ctx=xpath_new_context($doc); $foo=xpath_eval($ctx,"//title"); print_r($foo); It returns an object that contains a property called Nodeset with an array of DomNodes with the result of the Xpath expression. print_r($foo) to see the full structure. 4.0.4 has also added Xpointer support, so with Xpath and Xpointer support we can really do a lot of things from PHP to XML files.
