Re: Php.XPath 3.2 released!!

[Tim U. <ti...@di...>]

Hello all.

I was using a very old version of phpxpath and have been reluctant to 
upgrade because it has been working so well for me. SInce I lurk here I 
knew the later versions were faster so I finally downloaded the latest 
version and decided to test it. It turns out that phpxpath is now a whole 
new animal and the API has changed quite a bit. Here is a snippet of how I 
was using this class.

$xml = new XPath();
     $xml->load_string ($results_xml);

     $a = $xml->get_attributes($xml->root);
     $resultcount = $a['COUNT'];

     if ($resultcount):
         // we know we have results so let's deal with them.
         $results = $xml->evaluate("/RESULTS/RESULT");
         foreach ($results as $result):
             // everything we need is in here.
           $atrributes = $xml->get_attributes($result);

         $cases = $xml->evaluate($result . '/CASES/CASE');

         foreach ($cases as $case):

                 $case =  $xml->get_attributes($case);
                       foreach ($case as $key => $value):
                        Do something here with the case attributes.
                      endforeach;
                 endforeach;
                 endforeach;
     else:
         $error .= "No results found";
     endif;



To me this was a very neat way of dealing with XML files. Has this all now 
gone away? What is the eqavalent code in the new API.
