As far as I'm aware, the version that I have "published" contains the =
combination of all the bug fixes that I have seen so far.

I have found a series of "issues" recently with the XPath expressions =
that I am currently fixing. =20

-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------

Detailed description for those who care:

The issue arises in the function evaluate() and it's calls to =
evaluate_predicate() function. =20

To demostrate the problem visit: =
http://www.phpxml.org/scripts/testsuite/index.php and select the =
translation-example.xml file and use the following XPath expression =
leaving the XPath context blank.

//*[contains('title','to')]

Clearly the string "title" does not contain "to", so this XPath =
expression is logically the same as:

//*[false]

Yet the evaluate function recons that the template element holds an =
element where this condition is true.

The problem arises from the fact that evaluate() removes all ' chars, =
thus making the XPath expression equal to:

//*[contains(title,to)]

Hence the script catches the fact that /template[1]/title[1] exists and =
tries to see if it's content contains the XPath expression "to".

Now the XPath expression "to" should evaluate to the empty node set, as =
there are no <to> elements, but instead evaluate_predicate() returns the =
string itself deciding that "to" must be a literal string, not a node =
name.

And so it decides that //*[contains('title','to')] matches the =
/template[1] element.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------

Resolution:

The evalute function should not strip ' chars, as it needs to =
distinguish between string literals, and XPath expressions.  The =
evaluation should then detect the literal strings and not evaluate them =
as XPath expressions.

The version at my ftp site contains this fix.

I'm still hoping that Michael will make me a sourceforge developer of =
this project, otherwise I will continue to post fixes at the above site =
and update the Changes.html document that can be found there.
