ID: 55218 Comment by: lonnyk at gmail dot com Reported by: jerikojerk at gmail dot com Summary: missing a way to know if namespace was declared on current node Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: SimpleXML related Operating System: ubuntu PHP Version: 5.3SVN-2011-07-16 (snap) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I modified the definition of getDocNamespaces to be: public array SimpleXMLElement::getDocNamespaces ([ bool $recursive = false [, bool $from_root = true ] ] ) If the second param is set to true then the method performs exactly as it does now. If it is set to false it performs as requested. I choose to modify the method instead of creating a new one because I feel this is more of a configuration option for the same functionality. If anyone has a different opinion please let me know.

It's due to getDocNamespaces or getNamespaces returning xmlns status for all the document or document root only. It's conform to what is described in the documentation but as user we may expect a different behavior. Test script: --------------- <?php //phpinfo(); $x = new SimpleXMLElement( '<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <people xmlns:p="http://example.org/p" > <person id="1" xmlns:t="http://example.org/t" > <name>John Doe</name> </person> <person id="2">Susie Q. Public</person> <o> <div>jdslkfjsldk jskdfjsmlkjfkldjkjflskj kljfslkjf sldk</div> </o> </people>'); //echo '<pre>',$x->asXML(),'</pre>'; echo "\n<br>recursive: <br>\n"; //$tmp = $x->getNamespaces(true) ; //var_dump($tmp); $tmp = $x->getDocNamespaces(true) ; var_dump($tmp); echo "\n<br>\n"; //$tmp = $x->person[0]->getNamespaces(true) ; //var_dump($tmp); $tmp = $x->person[0]->getDocNamespaces(true) ; var_dump($tmp); echo "\n<br>\n"; //$tmp = $x->person[1]->getNamespaces(true) ; //var_dump($tmp); $tmp = $x->person[1]->getDocNamespaces(true) ; var_dump($tmp); */ echo "\n<br>non recursive: <br>\n"; //$tmp = $x->getNamespaces(false) ; //var_dump($tmp); $tmp = $x->getDocNamespaces(false) ; var_dump($tmp); echo "\n<br>\n"; //$tmp = $x->person[0]->getNamespaces(false) ; //var_dump($tmp); $tmp = $x->person[0]->getDocNamespaces(false) ; var_dump($tmp); echo "\n<br>\n"; //$tmp = $x->person[1]->getNamespaces(false) ; //var_dump($tmp); $tmp = $x->person[1]->getDocNamespaces(false) ; var_dump($tmp); Expected result: ---------------- if we were able to provide namespace declare only on current node instead of root node, the function will provide the following result recursive: array(2) { ["p"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/p" ["t"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/t" } array(1) { ["t"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/t" } array(0) { } non recursive: array(1) { ["p"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/p" } array(1) { ["t"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/t" } array(0) { } Actual result: -------------- recursive: array(2) { ["p"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/p" ["t"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/t" } array(2) { ["p"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/p" ["t"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/t" } array(2) { ["p"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/p" ["t"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/t" } non recursive: array(1) { ["p"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/p" } array(1) { ["p"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/p" } array(1) { ["p"]=> string(20) "http://example.org/p" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55218&edit=1
