dom_document_get_element_by_id

Is this function working?

yes.

see:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=17629
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16647

for details

I do not understand the workaround?
I am using latest cvs php5

you have to define the ids with a DTD. there are no default
"id"-attributes in the XML-specs.

Add:

<!DOCTYPE test [ <!ATTLIST el1 id ID #REQUIRED> <!ATTLIST el2 id ID #REQUIRED>

]>

to your XML document, and it should work.

or use XPath to access the nodes:
"//@id='id1'"

chregu

capitalizing the ID's to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<test>
<el1 ID="id1"/>
<el2 ID="id2"/>
</test>

gives no result.

Should I define a DTD to find the ID's?

Test program:

$dom = new domDocument();
$dom->load("test.xml");
$node = $dom->getElementById("id1");
print_r($node);

Test file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<test>
<el1 id="id1"/>
<el2 id="id2"/>
</test>

It seems to me that always a emty object is returned?
