Re: Proposal for a XML_Atom Library in the PEAR packages

Hi Mike, thank you for your answer ! Indeed, your code and mine are similar :-) Actually, I'm trying to go further in the parsing of an Atom feed. Indeed according to the Relax NG schema ( http://www.atomenabled.org/developers/syndication/atom-format-spec.php), most of the Atom elements could have attributes; so may be in your code, you could also add that information to respect even more the Atom Syndication format. My last problem is the parsing of namespaces attributes. Indeed, when I use the php DOM to convert an xml flow in a DOMDocument, namespaces are not known as attributes. So i am compelled to use the "hasAttributeNS". But the problem is that for an Atom element, we could have many namespaces. Example: <feed xmlns="..." xmlns:test1="..." attr="value">...</feed> In this example, when i convert that feed in a DOMDocument, only the pair [attr, value] is recognized. Have somenone already noticed that problem ? Chrislain.
