Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php xpath does not set the namespace scope of the returned SimpleXMLelement. You are required to set the namespace as demonstrated in previous comment Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-13 16:22:56] hubert dot roksor at gmail dot com If $child2 is <wsdl:operation/> then $child3 will be <wsdl:input/> or <wsdl:output/> and there will be no $child4. Unless this behaviour is considered as a bug by the developer and until it is fixed, you'll have to specify the children's namespace when calling children(): - $child2->children('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/') on PHP 5.1 and later or - $child2->children('wsdl', true) on PHP 5.2 and later ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-13 12:47:53] php dot net at trueprices dot net Description: ------------ SimpleXMLelement has no children() on element with only attributes? I try to retreive an element by xpath which goes without problems, The child elements it contains (same namespace) are all empty element with only attributes. However the returned SimpleXML element does not contain any children? so i'm unable to retreive there attributes. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $data = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <wsdl:definitions xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" > <wsdl:portType name="qxqPortType"> <wsdl:operation name="SOAP_set"> <wsdl:input message="SetRequest"/> <wsdl:output message="SetResponse"/> </wsdl:operation> <wsdl:operation name="SOAP_get"> <wsdl:input message="GetRequest"/> <wsdl:output message="GetResponse"/> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:portType> </wsdl:definitions>'; echo '<pre>'; $xml = simplexml_load_string($data); if ($xml) { $res2 = $xml->xpath('//wsdl:portType/wsdl:operation'); //print_r($res); foreach ($res2 as $child2) { //print_r($child2->children()); echo 'child2'.PHP_EOL; print_r($child2->getName().PHP_EOL); print_r(count($child2->children()).PHP_EOL); print_r($child2); foreach ($child2->children() as $child3) { echo 'child3'.PHP_EOL; print_r($child3->getName().PHP_EOL); print_r(count($child3->children()).PHP_EOL); print_r($child3); foreach ($child3->children() as $child4) { echo 'child4'.PHP_EOL; print_r($child4->getName().PHP_EOL); print_r(count($child4->children()).PHP_EOL); print_r($child4); } } } } echo '</pre>'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- child2 & child3 & child4 should be printed.. child2 operation 2 SimpleXMLElement Object ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] => Array ( [name] => SOAP_set ) ) child2 operation 2 SimpleXMLElement Object ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] => Array ( [name] => SOAP_set ) /* 2 another simplexml element input & output with children & attributes*/ ) Actual result: -------------- Only child2 prints with 0 children child2 operation 0 SimpleXMLElement Object ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] => Array ( [name] => SOAP_set ) ) child2 operation 0 SimpleXMLElement Object ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] => Array ( [name] => SOAP_get ) ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44108&edit=1
