Cheers indeed Rob!
That DOMXPath solution is exactly what I was looking for; Many, Many Thanks,

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!?
There are a couple of ways to do this.
Using only DOM, you can grab the namespaces via XPath:
$root = $dom->documentElement;
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$nodes = $xpath->query('namespace::*');
foreach ($nodes AS $node) {
print "x: ".$node->localName."\n";
}
A simpler solution is to use simplexml:
$sxe = simplexml_import_dom($root);
var_dump($sxe->getDocNamespaces(true));

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?
