note 121043 added to class.domxpath

You may not always know at runtime whether your file has a namespace or not. This can make it difficult to create XPath queries. Use the seriously underdocumented "namespaceURI" property of the documentElement of a DOMDocument to determine if there is a namespace. Use code such as the following: $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->load($file); $xpath = new DOMXPath($doc); $ns = $doc->documentElement->namespaceURI; if($ns) { $xpath->registerNamespace("ns", $ns); $nodes = $xpath->query("//ns:em[@class='glossterm']"); } else { $nodes = $xpath->query("//em[@class='glossterm']"); } //look at nodes here ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 23.249.203.110 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/class.domxpath.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/121043 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121043/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121043/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121043/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121043/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121043/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121043/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121043 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/121043 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
