note 54586 added to function.xpath-eval

If the namespace is subject to change you can write even more portable code if you extend brandon dot whitehead at orst dot edu's solution like this: $doc = domxml_open_mem($xml); $xpath = $doc->xpath_new_context(); $namespace = $xpath->xpath_eval('namespace-uri(//*)')->value; // returns the namespace uri xpath_register_ns($xpath, "pre", $namespace); // sets the prefix "pre" for the namespace $obj = $xpath->xpath_eval('//pre:Offer'); // finds all Offer tags $nodeset = $obj->nodeset; print_r($nodeset); This code will determine the namespace of the root element and set a prefix for XPath queries. Thus it doesn't matter if the namespace is changing in your XML (like some webservices do...) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xpath-eval.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54586 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54586&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54586&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54586&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54586&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54586&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54586&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54586&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
