Status: Analyzed
Bug Type: DOM XML related
Operating System: linux 2.4.4
PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2002-04-1
New Comment:
Quote from the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Core Specification:
Attributes with the name "ID" are not of type ID unless
so defined. Implementations that do not know whether
attributes are of type ID or not are expected to return
null.
That means that DomDocument->get_document_by_id("X") and
XPathContext->xpath_eval("//*[@id='X']) are not equivalent and that the
former function should only return a result if a DTD is referenced
which declares attributes of type ID.

Ooop. didn't much think about case sensitivity back then :)
A quick soultion would be:
"//*[@ID = '%s' or @id = '%s']".
I don't know, which version is really correct according to W3C (but
anyways, the ID-attribute should be stated in the DTD, so this whole
xpath-approach is actually rather wrong :) )

get_element_by_id() used xpath_eval as well but
searches for "//*[@ID = '%s']". If you capitalize
the id it should work. Do you have an idea how to search
case insensitve?

The following script returns bool(false):
<?php
$src = <<< _END
<html>
<head><title> Test </title></head>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
<span id="test">Foo</span>
</body>
</html>
_END;
$doc = domxml_open_mem($src);
$n = $doc->get_element_by_id("test");
var_dump($n);
?>
Workaround: Use Xpath expressions to find the node:
<?php
$src = <<< _END
<html>
<head><title> Test </title></head>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
<span id="test">Foo</span>
</body>
</html>
_END;
$doc = domxml_open_mem($src);
$ctx = $doc->xpath_new_context();
$res = $ctx->xpath_eval("//*[@id='test']");
$n = $res->nodeset[0];
var_dump($n);
?>
