Description:
------------
When creating a namespaced DOMDocument programmatically (appendChild,
etc), I cannot get DOMXPath to return the same results on the same
underlying XML document as I can when use DOMDocument->loadXML() to
populate the documents XML.
I compiled and tested the latest PHP 5.3.4RC2-dev (cli) (built: Nov 23
2010 21:51:46) using --with-dom and --with-xml and used the latest
stable libxml2-devel.x86_64 2.7.7-2.fc14 from fedora 14 and the problem
still persists.
Sorry its like 25 lines of code with comments, I don't have somewhere
else to put them.
Test script:
---------------
//Constructing the DOMDocument from XML string allows DOMXPath to work
$xml = <<<EOT
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";
xmlns:other="http://other.w3.org/other";><id>uYG7-sPwjFg</id><published>2009-05-17T18:29:31.000Z</published></entry>
EOT;
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadXML($xml);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
$xpath->registerNamespace('atom', "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";);
$entries = $xpath->evaluate('//atom:entry/atom:published/text()');
///prints 2009-05-17T18:29:31.000Z as expected
print $entries->item(0)->nodeValue ;
//Constructing the same exact document programmatically causes DOMXPath
to not work
$doc = new DOMDocument("1.0", "UTF-8");
$entry = $doc->createElement('entry');
$doc->appendChild($entry);
$entry->setAttribute('xmlns', "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";);
$entry->setAttribute('xmlns:other', "http://other.w3.org/other";);
$id = $entry->appendChild($doc->createElement('id'));;
$id->appendChild($doc->createTextNode("uYG7-sPwjFg"));
$published = $entry->appendChild($doc->createElement('published'));
$published->appendChild($doc->createTextNode("2009-05-17T18:29:31.000Z"));
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
$xpath->registerNamespace('atom', "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";);
$entries = $xpath->evaluate('//atom:entry/atom:published/text()');
//throws error as node is not found
print $entries->item(0)->nodeValue;
Expected result:
----------------
I would expect both of the above examples to print
2009-05-17T18:29:31.000Z
Actual result:
--------------
Example one prints 2009-05-17T18:29:31.000Z and example 2 fails because
the node is not found by Xpath
