I've been trying to write a PHP script to parse an XML document using DOMXPath; however it seems I'm missing something because none of my XPath queries are returning anything.

I'm having an issue where I am trying to pull 1700+ anchors off a webpage using a DOMXPath query. However the DOM Node List length is returned as 1400. I have done the same (with added tbody's) in XPather in FF and it returns 1700+ anchors so I know the query is right. Is there a limit to how many nodes xpather can return? Or how muc...

Hi, I'm having a problem with encoding from a wordpress feed that I just can't seem to figure out. I was loading my feed with DOMDocument->load but then did a file_get_contents and am now using ->XMLload with the same results. I did the XMLload so I could manipulate the feed if needed. The correct output that I'm looking for is - ‘ £....

I'm trying to extract all relevant URLs and images out of a page and put them into an array, the code below works fine except it outputs the first pair over and over for the numerically-correct number of times.
