Re: DOM API Namespaces - help?

Cheers Rob,

But this is the problem, I don't know what the namespace/prefix is! ie "xi" and the following doesn't work:

$root->getAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/', '*');

further xmlns is ?not? a prefix so this won't work either..
$root->lookupPrefix('http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/');

we need to assume that we don't know the document we're working on, thus we don't know:
a] if it has any namespaces defined
b] if any, what the namespaces are
c] if any, what the prefixes are.

And I still can't find any way of finding this out, it should be simple enough surely?

still help!?

Hi Nathan,

You need to retrieve the attribute based on the xmlns namespace.

Thanks Jessen, I'm using the DOM API (domdocument) in PHP 5 - and yes pull xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; from the chapter or indeed any namespaces defined in the root node and store them in a variable.

If anybody could shed any light it'd be greatly appreciated.

$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<chapter xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";>
<a />
</chapter>';

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadXML($xml);
$root = $dom->documentElement;
$attr = $root->getAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/', 'xi');
var_dump($attr);

how would one retrieve xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";

When you say 'retrieve', what do you really mean?  You need to get the
namespace value into a PHP variable?
I would probably look at the namespace-uri() function in XSLT, but I
don't know if you're using XSLT?
