Hello. The current XML_Xpath is 100% completely broken in the newer PHP Versions. I'm not sure exactly when, but some time along the ride, the DomXML implementation started returning all its classnames in lowercase(ie: domdocument). The XML_Xpath package searches the classnames case sensitive (DomDocument). Thus it'll never recognize XML as being loaded, and will always fail. A bug about this has already been submitted over 2 months ago[1], and a fix[2] for this bug had already been applied to the CVS 5 months, 1 week ago. Yet untill now, there has been no new XML_XPath released. The included test didn't work either, since it used functions(systime()) that simply don't exist.

Well I was about to send this package to the not yet existing orphanage. If you can fix it up so that the examples actually work I am all for handing you the maintanership of the package. Dan seems to be really swamped with other things and its really a huge issues to have such a severly broken package in CVS. Please also make sure the package runs on php5 .. special care needs to be taken since get_class() will actually return the exact case of the class in php5 ... regards, Lukas Smith smith@backendmedia.com _______________________________ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com berlin@backendmedia.com Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07
