xml-namespaces

I have this simple xml document: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <registry xmlns="http://www.iana.org/assignments" id="character-sets"> <registry id="character-sets-1"> <record> <name>ANSI_X3.4-1968</name> </record> </registry> </registry> When I use this xsl I can extract the name: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:my="http://www.iana.org/assignments" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/my:registry"> <xsl:copy-of select="//my:record/my:name"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> However, If I omit the namespace

I'm trying to produce the following XML by means of DOM/PHP5: <?xml version="1.0"?> <root xmlns:p="myNS"> <p:x>test</p:x> </root> This is what I'm doing: $xml = new DOMDocument('1.0'); $root = $xml->createElementNS('myNS', 'root'); $xml->appendChild($root); $x = $xml->createElementNS('myNS', 'x', 'test'); $root->appendChild($x); echo $xml->saveXML(); This is what I'm getting: <?xml version="1.0"?> <root xmlns="myNS"> <x>test</x> </root> What am I doing wrong? How to make this prefix working? $root = $xml->createElementNS('myNS', 'root'); root shouldn't be in namespace myNS . In the original

I am trying to parse a youtube playlist field. The URL is: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/664AA68C6E6BA19B?v=2 I need: Title, Video ID, and Default thumbnail. I can easily get the title but I'm a little lost when it comes to the nested elements $data = new DOMDocument(); if($data->load("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/664AA68C6E6BA19B?v=2")) { foreach ($data->getElementsByTagName('entry') as $video) { $title = $video->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue; $id = ?? $thumb = ?? } } Here is the XML (I have stripped out the elements that are irrelevant for

I want to do an XPath query on this file (excerpt shown): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- MetaDataAPI generated on: Friday, May 25, 2007 3:26:31 PM CEST --> <ModelClass xmlns="http://xml.sap.com/2002/10/metamodel/webdynpro" xmlns:IDX="urn:sap.com:WebDynpro.ModelClass:2.0"> <ModelClass.Parent> <Core.Reference package="com.test.mypackage" name="ModelName" type="Model"/> This is a snippet of the code I'm using: DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder(); Document document = builder.parse(new File

Is "empty" a valid value for XML namespace? If yes what does it mean? I have the following XML code but I'm not sure to which namespace Field1 and Field2 elements belong to. <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soapenv:Header /> <soap:Body> <Root xmlns="uri"> <Field1 xmlns="">147079737</Field1> <Field2 xmlns="">POL</Field2> </Root> </soap:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> Frerich Raabe Yes, it is valid. Section 6.2 in the Namespaces in XML 1.0 Recommendation specifically says: The attribute value in a default namespace declaration MAY be empty. This has the

Say I have a source document like this: <element> <subelement xmlns:someprefix="mynamespace"/> </element> The xmlns:someprefix is obviously not needed here and doesn't do anything since that prefix is not being used in that element (or in my case, anywhere in the document). In PHP, after I've loaded this into a DOM tree with DOMDocument->loadXML(), I'd like to be able to detect that such a namespace declaration exists, and remove it. I know that I can read it with hasAttribute() and even remove it with removeAttributeNS() (strangely) but only if I know its prefix. It doesn't appear in DOMNode-

Trying to edit an XML document that uses Excels XML-Namespaces: <Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"> I need to get to this result (need the ss: prefix befire Type ): <Cell ...><Data ss:Type="String">value</Data></Cell> I've looked over the question Unable add namespace with PHPs SimpleXML but this method is not helping here. In other words, running this as outlined there $data = $cells[$i]->addChild('Data','value'); $data->addAttribute("ss:Type","String","urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"); gives me
