Re: Re: DOMDocument::schemaValidate() - group nodes inside choice nodes

Hi It's not PHPs task to validate your schema, the library used behind, libxml2, is doing that. So if something doesn't validate, but it should, it's not our "fault". libxml2 has has still no feature complete XSD Support (AFAIK), but they made some big progress latetly. It's therefore a good idea to use one of the latest libxml2 releases and check, if they maybe fixed that issue. I didn't look at your XSD and check, if it's valid at all. I'm no XSD expert, but I assume, you checked it already with another validator ;) chregu On 12.11.2004 1:43 Uhr, nick eby wrote:

here is a full script that much better illustrates what i'm talking about. note the difference between the two XSD's. i contend that the document should validate against both, but i suspect that i've just been looking at it for too long. <? $prolog = '<?xml version="1.0"?>'; $xsd = $xsd2 = $xml = $prolog; $xsd .= <<<EOT <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xs:element name="customer"> <xs:complexType> <xs:choice> <xs:element ref="customer-id"/> <xs:group ref="customerinfo"/> </xs:choice> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="customer-id" type="xs:long" /> <xs:group name="customerinfo"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="name" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:group> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"></xs:element> </xs:schema> EOT; $xsd2 .= <<<EOT <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xs:element name="customer"> <xs:complexType> <xs:choice> <xs:element ref="customer-id"/> <xs:group name="customer-info"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="name" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:group> </xs:choice> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="customer-id" type="xs:long" /> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"></xs:element> </xs:schema> EOT; $xml .= <<<EOT <customer> <name>Bob Eubanks</name> </customer> EOT; $doc = DOMDocument::loadXML($xml); echo ($doc->schemaValidateSource($xsd) ?
