PEAR::Config misunderstanding

Hi, I decided to try out PEAR::Config because I was really reeled in by the claim that it supports XPath like queries to get values. To be blunt, I was thinking I'd be able to do something like require_once($config->searchPath("/Config/Packages/package[@name='adodb']")); which really appealed to me. However, it seems that it doesn't. :( I've been reading through the documentation and, I just don't see how passing an array in is "XPath like". Either way, I am confused... I cannot for the life of me even get this to work without dumping out a gargantuan array and looking through it like the examples show. Below I included my attempt to create a config file and geta value from it. The xml outputs just fine, but search path returns false... why!? It seems like it should return the path directive that contains the current directory path. What gives? $conf =& new Config_Container('section', 'Configuration'); $conf_paths = &$conf->createSection('Paths'); $conf_paths->createComment('Maps out application paths to package names.'); $conf_paths->createDirective('path', dirname(__FILE__).'/', array('name' => 'root')); $config = new Config(); $config->setRoot($conf); echo $conf->toString('xml', array('name' => 'test')); var_dump( $conf->searchPath( array('path', array('name'=> 'root')) ) ); Thanks, JC
