where 'data node' means 'text node'. 

'A text node always has at least one character of data.'

not sure I understand what you are trying to do. getData() is for getting the 
contents of a data node. Your <article> node is not a data node. You can do 
getData("article[1]") but it will be empty. If you want a list of the 
children of the <article> node, do an evaluate/match on /article[1]/* or 
whatever; this will return a nodeset array which you can then process with a 
do-loop or whatever on the individual child nodes, for example, to get their 
data contents.

[Jani P. <yj...@ku...>]

I'm very interested in using XPath with my projects to handle XML. So I decided
to do some simple testing.

However, I cannot even overcome the simple first step, displaying the whole
tree. I *can* however access the contents of the single nodes of the tree (like
this: ' $txt = $xpath->getData("article/teksti"); ').

No matter what I try there's simply "XPath error in XPath.class.php:5813 The
supplied xPath 'root[1]' does not *uniquely* describe a node in the xml
document.Not unique xpath-query, matched 0-times." The code follows:

I have this simple XML-file that depicts an article:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<article>
	<otsake>Title Here</otsake>
	<teksti>Yabba Pala Plah Blah blaa. Gabber gabba yadda wabba. Shaba dada
baba.</teksti>
	<pvm>19082004</pvm>
	<contact>fa...@ch...</contact>
</article>

And then I tested Xpath 3.5 with this code:

require_once("XPath.class.php");
$xpath = new XPath("vi_articles.xml"); //the xml file above
//Display all the content
$art = $xpath->getData("root[1]");
echo "<hr>koko artikkeli:<br> $art<hr>";
..

In place of 'root[1]' I also tried '/', '/article', 'article', 'article[0]',
'article[1]', '/root', '/root[1]' (and several hundred other variations it seems
8) )

What gives? How to get to the whole tree so I can 'echo' it?

Thanks for reading,

Php.XPath 3.5 released!

[Nigel S. <nig...@us...>]

Release notes:
http://www.carrubbers.org/scripts/php/xpath/Changes.html
Project home page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxpath

Substantial corrections made to the parsing and processing of XPath =
queries.  This makes Php.XPath adhere much more accurately to the =
standard, and makes it search a little quicker too.  Also updated to =
work with PHP5.

Given the support for XPath in PHP5, this may well be the last release =
of Php.XPath?  It certainly seems to be very very stable now, and I will =
likely still be using it for the next couple of years, so keep the bug =
reports coming and I'll be happy to do another release if required. :o)

Cheers all,

Nigel

You need to these functions:

  c.. http://www.carrubbers.org/scripts/php/xpath/doc/#getAttributes

yup, that seems to fix it. Another difference that may catch the unwary is 
that the useCases testbench uses the HTTP_*_VARS, so won't work if 
register_long_arrays in php.ini is off. However, I doubt it's worth your 
changing that.

I've always found that the slowness of evaluate/match is phpxpath's biggest 
problem. You don't notice if you're only accessing one or two nodes, but I 
have 1 file where each node has a unique id attribute which is the xpath key. 
phpxpath doesn't like this at all. It's quite a large file, and updating a 
large no of nodes can literally take several minutes!

following on from this, it seems this error is given in php5 whether or not 
the code is executed or not. My workaround for the moment is to comment out 
line 4614. An odd thing to do anyway - set an object to a boolean value? 
hmmmm . . .

phpxpath and php5

[Peter R. <php...@pe...>]

With the hugely improved xml capabilities in php5, I expect phpxpath will 
slowly become redundant. However, it'll be a while before scripts are 
changed, and also until php5 is widely installed in production environments, 
so those of us who have a script running on several servers may have it on 
php4 and on php5. 

I've just been testing my phpxpath scripts in php5 and have to say I've not 
found one that works :-(( For example, 'PHP Fatal error:  Cannot re-assign 
$this in /test/scripts/XPath.class.php on line 4614'
which it seems is one of the 'undocumented features' of the new version (see 
user comment at http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration5.incompatible.php)

What's the plan? Is phpxpath going to be left as is to wither with php4, or 
will it be updated to work on php5?

change Position of a Node

Can anyone show me a smart way to move a complete node-structure up or down

$xml="<root><A>abc</A><B>def</B></root>";
...
move("/root/B[1]","up");
echo $xml; //should give: <root><B>def</B><A>abc</A></root>

move("/root/B[1]","down");
echo $xml; //should give: <root><A>abc</A><B>def</B></root>

function move($xpath,$direction){
 global $XPathObject;
 //???
}

I am thinking about deleting and re-inserting all the nodes in the parent
node but there must be an easy way, or not? Can I just change the two index
keys in the xpath array?

Has anyone coded something for this problem before?

Thanks for any help!

Re: Urgent! Please help me! Getting data via XPATH!

[James H. <ja...@oc...>]

well with php xpath, You can get the data by using :
$xpath=3D new XPath("file.xml");
$nodedata =3D $xpath->getData("/ws/result");
#this would/should return true, but if you didn't know if there was a=20
result you would have to do something like.
$nodes=3D $xpath->match("/ws");
foreach ($nodes as $node){
echo $node."<br>";
#would return result
$nodedata =3D $xpath->getData($node);
#would return true
}

Now with child nodes that have children, you are in a whole different=20
ballgame, and really the documentation covers that, but basically you=20
would have to test to see if the child that returns in the loop has=20
children, and if so, dig, or make it a link, and change your node path=20=

when you follow the link.  Hope this helps.

[phpxpath - Help] RE: exportToFile formatting (or lack thereof)

[SourceForge.net <no...@so...>]

Read and respond to this message at: 
https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2541349
By: nigelswinson

It's best to set setSkipWhiteSpaces() before you do your import, as it's during
the import process that it sets the whitespace that should go around the elements,
but the value is also used on export to reconstruct the file to your liking.

So if you have SkipWhiteSpaces on for the import, then it will bin all
the whitespaces, then turn it off for the export, and it won't "pretty print"
the output, but output as was imported.

Please post further support queries by email to the (archived) users list, where
your issue will be read by many other Php.XPath users.

Cheers,

Nigel

Hello Forum!

I'm trying to figure out why when I setSkipWhiteSpaces(false) and do an exportToFile
the resulting file contains NO indentation or readability formatting? All of
the tags and data are just written in series. The file works fine and is usable,
but trying to read it gives me a headache. Am I missing a setting to output
the file WITH formatting? Any help would be great!

evaluate xpath syntax would be something like //flora//*[contains(.,'red')] 
i.e. give me descendants of all flora nodes which contain 'red'

<name>fred</name> also contains 'red' ;)

function _handleFunction_contains

[ktt <kes...@ya...>]

I have an XML file like

<orchard>
  <flora>
  <flower>red</flower>
  <stem>green</stem>
  </flora>

  <flora>
  <flower>red</flower>
  <stem>pale</stem>
  </flora>

  <flora>
  <flower>blue</flower>
  <stem>pale</stem>
  </flora>
</orchard>


The aim is to display all <flora> nodes if subnode of
it
has a value "red".

I would like to use 
function _handleFunction_contains($arguments,
$context)
and use a query "//flora[contains(.,'red')]" .

But the dificulty is how to pass a query
"//flora[contains(.,'red')]"
to function, and that is a $context? I'm new to
PHP.XPath..

Thank you in advance.

ktt

For a number of reasons, not all of which I understand, I've not been =

Hopefully the situation is fixed now, and I'll return to being =
responsive to mails from this list :o)  If you have posed a question =
since July, and either didn't get an answer, or didn't get a =
satisfactory answer, feel free to re-post.

Thanks all for your interest and support for Php.XPath :o)

set encoding

[Gabriel T. <gth...@we...>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to set the encoding for my document.

  $options=array('XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING' => "UTF-8");
  $doc = new XPath();
  $doc->importFromFile('request.xml');
  $doc->setXmlOptions($options);
  $test=$doc->getNode();
  print_r($test);
  $doc->exportToFile("NewXml1.xml");
  
No Errors but the latin-1 encoding from the imported file has not changed.
In the end i want to create a new xml-document with utf-8 encoding.
I tried:
   $doc = new XPath();
   $doc->appendChild('', "<test></test>", true );
so far, it's working but again setting the encoding fails:
   $doc->setXmlOptions($options);
   or
   $doc->setXmlOption("XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING", "UTF-8");

I know somehow I have to set the textParts-array of the super-root,
but there has to be a nicer way to do this..

Thanks!

are you absolutely sure you get nothing? Try:

<?php
   include('XPath.class.php');
   $xml = new XPath();
   $xml->importFromFile('whatever.xml');
   print htmlspecialchars($xml->getData('/Buyer[1]/User[1]/Email[1]'));
?>
