 New Comment:

That's an issue in libxml2. PHP uses libxml2, but we don't develop it.
No need to duplicate the entry.



Will ping one of the dev to see what's going on there.

Description:
------------
XPath (and possibly libxml2) has a bug when selecting attributes with a
namespace. We must use the namespace-uri() function to solve this
problem whereas using a registered prefix does not work.



A bug has been reported to Gnome in 2008:
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562557> but it's still
opened and not resolved.

Test script:
---------------
<?php



$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' . "\n\n" .

       '<foo xmlns="http://ns1"; xmlns:x="http://ns2";>' . "\n" .

       '  <bar a="b" x:c="d" e="f" g="h" />' . "\n" .

       '</foo>';



$sxe = simplexml_load_string($xml);



$sxe->registerXPathNamespace('',  'http://ns1');

$sxe->registerXPathNamespace('x', 'http://ns2');



echo $xml . "\n\n" .

     '✘ //@*                                 found(' .

     count($sxe->xpath('//@*')) . ')' . "\n" .

     '✘ //@x:* (x registered as http://ns2)  found(' .

     count($sxe->xpath('//@x:*')) . ')' . "\n" .

     '✔ //@*[namespace-uri() = "http://ns2";] found(' .

     count($sxe->xpath('//@*[namespace-uri() = "http://ns2";]')) . ')' .
"\n";

Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>



<foo xmlns="http://ns1"; xmlns:x="http://ns2";>

  <bar a="b" x:c="d" e="f" g="h" />

</foo>



✘ //@*                                 found(4)

✘ //@x:* (x registered as http://ns2)  found(1)

✔ //@*[namespace-uri() = "http://ns2";] found(1)

Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>



<foo xmlns="http://ns1"; xmlns:x="http://ns2";>

  <bar a="b" x:c="d" e="f" g="h" />

</foo>



✘ //@*                                 found(4)

✘ //@x:* (x registered as http://ns2)  found(4)

✔ //@*[namespace-uri() = "http://ns2";] found(1)
