note 45862 deleted from function.dom-domxpath-registernamespace by tomsommer

Note Submitter: gem at rellim dot com ---- I found the solution to my problem in the notes for xpath_eval() Here is the abbreviated and updated example from there. If you have a default namespace declaration such as the following document: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rootname xmlns="http://www.some.org" xml:lang="en-US"> <childnode>Some text</childnode> </rootname> And you want to evaluate the xpath expression: "/rootname/childnode" It will not work in PHP 5.01 You need to register the default namespace in PHP like this: $objectXPath->registerNamespace( "pre", "http://www.some.org"); and then use the following xpath expression: "/pre:rootname/pre:childnode"
