I'm not sure I understand why I would have to call registerXPathNamespace() to use a default namespace? I thought one of the reasons to use SimpleXML was to parse XML documents. If I make the one default namespace (xmlns="http://zzz.com/webservices";) a non-default such as xmlns:test=, then it properly queries the /result value. To do what you're suggestion I would have to parse the XML document myself looking for the namespace I would want to query against. The code below also works if you simply remove the xmlns="" attribute. Are you sure that I'm supposed to be using registerXPathNamespace() Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-17 07:01:04] [EMAIL PROTECTED] You have to register default namespaces with http://ch2.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-element- registerXPathNamespace.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-17 04:08:56] cpriest at warpmail dot net Description: ------------ SimpleXML is having some difficulty in parsing XML which contains a default xmlns entry. Reproduce code: --------------- <? header('Content-Type: text/plain'); $ResponseBody = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <result xmlns="https://zzz.com/webservices"; xmlns:xsd="https://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="https://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>Test</result>'; $objXML = new SimpleXMLElement($ResponseBody); $tMatches = $objXML->xpath('/result'); print_r((string)$tMatches[0]); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Expect print_r() to print "Test" Actual result: -------------- $tMatches is an empty array() If you change the xmlns="https://zzz.com/webservices"; to xmlns:zzz="https://zzz.com/webservices"; (add a namespace sub-string), it works fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42325&edit=1
